The main goal of the newly created public organization Health Right is to help Armenians realize their right to health. Tigran Khachatryan, chairman of the NGO, told journalists. According to him, the organization is apolitical and aims to support the population and medical workers. For this purpose, according to the specialist, a number of problems should be solved not only in the medical sphere but also in the social, economic and legal spheres.
"Today a large part of the population is dissatisfied with the availability and quality of medical care and services for objective reasons. And workers are dissatisfied with working conditions and wages. Based on this, we decided to create an organization that is apolitical and only aims to help our people be healthy, and health is the only value that cannot be bought," Khachatryan said. Anush Poghosyan, co-chair of the organization and former deputy head of the Health and Labor Inspectorate, said that the organization will cooperate with state and local authorities as well as international structures. Moreover, this idea, he said, has also received a great response in the diaspora.
Tsaghik Vardanyan, co-chairman of the organization said in turn that the newly established public organization has a lot to do, both to protect citizens' right to health and to protect the health care system in emergency situations. According to Vardanyan, today about 25-30% of Armenian residents do not apply to medical institutions due to lack of money. "There will be legislative proposals, there will be various kinds of roundtables, there will be cooperation. We are extending our hand of cooperation to everyone who cares about the state of the healthcare system.We must understand that this country is ours, the Republic of Armenia is our homeland, and healthcare is the health of all of us," Vardanian said.
