DOCTORS TURN TO SERJ SARGSYAN
Support A1+!28 workers of the Ijevan polyclinic have sent a letter to RA Presidnet Serj Sargsyan and Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan. They are complaining of the fact that since September 1 their salary has been reduced by 50%. The salary of the nurses is at present 12 500 AMD. The doctors inform that they provide medical care for soldiers, thus saving millions of drams.
The Ministry of Defense claims that they have sent the sum to the Ijevan medical center. However, the center has not received anything. The doctors are in dismay as to how the medical institution with a budget of hundreds of millions of drams is unable to provide its workers with normal salary. They are asking to send relevant specialists to Ijevan, in order to check the financial activity of the polyclinic for the last five years.
The doctors also complain that family doctors have been relocated to the former garages of the Ijevan Mother and child healthcare polyclinic which used to be home for domestic animals. As for the rest of the staff, they will be relocated to the Ijevan hospital building later in November. This is done in order to free the typical three-storied building of the polyclinic at the center of the town in order to privatize it.
By the way, Hrach Nersisyan, who is the head of the Ijevan polyclinic and at the same time the brother of the Ijevan mayor Varouzhan Nersisyan, has already privatized the garages near the polyclinic for an insignificant sum.
