Kindergarten workers and nutrition specialists must pass a medical
exam two times a year.

In 2008, 52 citizens of Alaverdi passed the medical exam and received a
sanitary information pamphlet, while another 22 have applied for this
year. Workers will be granted permission to work based on results of
the medical exam by doctor and president of the commission created
especially for coordinating the medical exam process Avetik Vardanyan.

The latter says that there have been no cases of infectious diseases
registered. Doctor Vardanyan also notes that there is a huge difference
compared to Soviet times when there was higher control and a large
number of applicants.

Head of the #1 kindergarten of Alaverdi Aida Papoyan attaches
importance to workers’ health conditions and is pleased to see
increased government-funding for medical exams. The medical exam fee
is 8,500 drams, of which 1,200 drams is for the analysis carried out
in the Hygiene and Anti-epidemic center.
