YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: About 16,721 babies were born
in Yerevan as of November 1. Head of the mother and child health
protection department of the Health Ministry Karine Saribekyan
told Armenpress that the ministry is conducting monitoring both in
Yerevan maternity houses and in the provincial ones connected with
the functioning of the birth certificate system. Works are being
carried out to increase the level of awareness of pregnant women.
"The results of the monitoring witness that the system is functioning
effectively, there are positive responses both from pregnant women
and doctors. No issues have aroused during the process," K. Saribekyan
said.
Non-governmental organizations are involved in the monitoring and
are working with the mothers after they are signed out from hospitals.
K. Saribekyan did not exclude the cases of giving money to doctors.
"Many financially insured people give money to doctors as an expression
of gratitude. I think here we must seriously work to change the
mentality of the people. Even if they express gratitude unequal
conditions are created among the patients," K. Saribekyan said.
