In 2018, the Inspectorate for Health and Labor initiated proceedings in 208 cases. The number of cases in production, however, has increased several times since the beginning of 2019, and by July 1 it was already about 1100, head of the Health and Labor Inspectorate for Health and Labor Edgar Khurshudyan told reporters.

According to him, the inspection body works in four main areas, but most of the cases in production dealt with the drug market (fake drugs, fake packaging, import violation and many other violations). Most of the fines, the total amount of which exceeds 300 million drams, were in the same sphere.

Speaking about the situation on the drug market, Khurshudyan noted that today there are many problems with the order of import. According to him, the inspection body made a package of proposals to improve the situation in this area, but, unfortunately, only a small number of proposals were taken into account.

According to him, the health and labor inspectorate also checked the sanitary and hygienic conditions at over 300 filling stations and revealed a number of violations, but the situation is normal in general.

A number of problems were also identified during water studies, especially in the regions of the country. But as a result of the work done, the problems were resolved.

Problems were also found in the country's pharmacies: in 150 pharmacies, as it turned out, it was not the pharmacists who worked, but students or other people without appropriate qualifications. In over 80 pharmacies, employees did not have employment contracts.

According to Khurshudyan, after the inspections, the management of the pharmacies was forced to sign employment contracts with employees, with the result that both employees became more protected and tax revenues increased.

Problems and violations were also found in the qualifications of doctors, the introduction of continuing medical education, as well as immunoprophylaxis.
