MEDICAL ETHICS IS AS IMPORTANT, AS PROFESSIONALISM OF DOCTORS

Interview with head of the RA MoD Central Clinical Military Hospital, Colonel Aram Asaturyan

– When the Defense Minister asked me to become head of CCMH, I have not slept for three nights. Indeed, the main army hospital should qualify for very high standards, amount of work there is very large. There are several important directions of activities. The first is the creation of right relationship among the military medical team, not to be indifferent to success and problems of the hospital. The second is the superior-subordinate relationship. Only the head may require a subordinate work effectively and achieve success, who is respected for his compassion, humanity, justice and care. The third is a doctor’s professional ethics. Unlike other professions, professional duty of the doctor is to be compassionate, kind, caring to the patient. There are unwritten laws that are so important, as professional skills of the doctor.

In our hospital today work the best doctors of the republic, they are PhDs, the only specialists of the republic.

Hospital number one of the Ministry of Defense should be the best clinics in Armenia both in terms of the building and the quality of medical service, unfortunately still building conditions do not meet the requirements of the time.
