YEREVAN, September 18. /ARKA/. Military hospitals in Armenia will be integrated with civilian hospitals, Armenian Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan said at the 6th Armenia-Diaspora forum that started in Yerevan on Monday
"Military hospitals are often better equipped and have more resources than district hospitals. Together with the ministry of health we will launch a pilot project to merge military and civic hospitals in Sisian, Berd and Vardenis," he said.
He said the planned merger will allow the army to help ordinary citizens, adding that military hospitals too have problems. One of these problems, he said, is modernization of the Central Military Clinical Hospital.
"We have the best resuscitation and surgical departments. However, the condition of the building is unsatisfactory. With our foreign partners, we are discussing the construction of a new modern military hospital. We also aim to purchase modern equipment," Sargsyan said.
The sixth Armenia-Diaspora Forum, entitled "Mutual Trust, Unity and Responsibility", will run through September 20. -0-
