RA PRIME MINISTER TIGRAN SARGSYAN ATTENDED TODAY THE OPENING OF THE EURO-CAUCASIAN CARDIOLOGY FORUM
Thursd ay, 29 October 2009
In his address, the head of the executive said that public health care
is a priority area under the government’s strategy: "Health care is
seen as a key driving force behind Armenia’s strategic development. We
should abide by a cluster-wise approach in the sphere of health
services and provide such conditions as seem to be necessary for
Armenia to become a regional health care center. Specific projects
have already been designed to that effect, and we try to pursue this
strategy based on the principle of public-private sector cooperation."
Highly appreciative of the work done by cardiologists, Tigran
Sargsyan indicated that there are some achievements in this area. Said
achievements can be witnessed by the ever-growing number of patients
arriving from neighboring countries to get medical diagnosis and
treatment: "Our strategy stems from our determination to rely on the
all-Armenian potential as evidenced by this forum."
The present gathering is another possibility for you to share views
on the outlook for cardiology development, exchange know-how to
the benefit of service quality." The Prime Minister highlighted
the quality of professional training: "Health care is supposed to
provide for spasmodic development in the 21st century. It implies
close interaction between research and practice as modern societies
are knowledge-based ones, and we must lead the way in this area."
