ArmInfo."Antituberculous dispensary" CJSC  is eliminated. The Council of Elders of Yerevan adopted the corresponding decision at the meeting on April 28. The  elimination commission will be created by the mayor of Yerevan within  15 days after the entry into force of this decision.

With the unification of all the antituberculosis dispensaries of  Yerevan, the urban antituberculosis dispensary was founded in 1987.  The organization reveals, diagnoses and treats the patients with  tuberculosis. There is all necessary equipment for free, qualified,  professional service of the population. The dispensary has an  in-patient department with 48 hospital beds, where 280-300 patients  are treated, 150-200 conscripts are given medical expert examination:  9-10 thousand fluorographic and 4-5 thousand X-ray and layered  investigations are done in the department of X-ray and fluorography. 

In substantiating the decision, it is noted that earlier the Ministry  of Healthcare of the Republic of Armenia, for the implementation of  community-based tuberculosis medical care and services in Yerevan,  allocated 9 outpatient clinics the funds provided for laboratory and  instrumental diagnostic studies and highly specialized consultations.

Considering that early detection, prevention, further treatment and  continuous monitoring of tuberculosis are included in targeted state  health programs and are provided to the population exclusively on a  free basis, the company's further activities without state-guaranteed  free medical care and services are not practical.

Employment contracts were terminated with medical personnel and some  employees of the administrative and business personnel of the CJSC in  the manner prescribed by the Labor Code of the Republic of Armenia.  Currently, 12 individuals work in the company to coordinate current  work, whose salary in January-February was paid at the expense of  free cash of the company.
