YEREVAN. – Inspections and in-depth studies were conducted at Armenia’s medical and social expertise commissions, Labor and Social Affairs Minister Artem Asatryan stated during Thursday’s Cabinet session.  

As a result, the Medical and Social Expertise Agency Director and six expertise commission chiefs are dismissed. Also, several employees working in this sector were relieved of their duties in line with their respective letters of resignation.     

To note, these commissions determine the disability categories of the citizens of Armenia.

Also, Asatryan submitted for the Government’s approval four draft decisions that aim to regulate the activities of these commissions. 

“Studies show that the corruption risks are widespread in this system,” PM Tigran Sargsyan noted, in his turn.
