ArmInfo. Salaries of primary  health care staff (polyclinics and ambulant clinics) will be  increased by about 15%, starting from August 1, Minister of  Healthcare Arsen Torosyan said in his video address.

According to him, this reform is being implemented due to saving  internal funds, without attracting additional budgetary funding. "The  matter concerns the amount of 700 million drams," the Minister said,  adding that this reform will involve 10,000 primary healthcare  workers.

At the same time, he urged health care employees to fulfill their  duty at high level and show real results: "Be vigilant, dear  colleagues," the Minister concluded.
