Notably the healthcare sector is one of the target groups of the anti-corruption strategy aproned by the Government.

According to Armen Muradyan, recently notable developments took place in the healthcare sphere, however at the same time there are intense and controversial articles about the sector as well.

The students asked the Minister questions about the problems that exist in the sphere. Specifically there was a question whether there are corruption risks when the members of the ambulance staff direct the patient to this or that hospital for the further treatment. The Minister sid that ther is such problem, but such cases have currently decreased.
