T40 degree C heat keeps stable on the territory of Armenia, which rumored to condition a great number of miscarriages . The complaint became frequent in public that there are unbearable conditions in hospitals connected with abnormal heat. The wards lack ventilation and air conditioning. A special resentment was aroused in relation to the hospital after Margaryan, in which, according to the information received, conditioners are set only in paid wards. The patients from free departments in maternity hospitals have to move to paid ones, because of heat.
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter tried to find out if the information is true. During the call conversation, the Secretary of the hospital said that they have conditioners, though not in all wards, but she hesitated to give neat answer on what principles the conditioners are distributed in the hospital.
In the maternity department of the same hospital, they said that there are conditioners in all wards and that no problems could rise on this issue. Besides, they advised to address the chief physician or director of the hospital on the issue of frequent miscarriages. The Secretary also said that chief physician is on his leave now, whereas the Director is in an operation room, therefore he cannot answer.
Head of the maternity department of the Republican hospital Razmik Abrahamyan said that he had no statistical data relating to the growth of birth rate connected with hot weather.
“I am in contact with all. And I haven’t heard anything like that, I do not understand where you take such information from,” he said.
Regarding conditioners, Abrahamyan said that such issues cannot be solved in one day and added that presently there are no hospitals in which wards number reach 200, with a conditioner installed in each. It is not so easy. We install them where necessary, that is, in maternity departments, in many wards.
Shengavit medical center said that they have installed conditioners both in free and paid wards. We could not speak to the chief physician of this hospital, because he, too, was in the operation room. Taking into consideration the excessive workload of the physicians, it may be concluded that rumors on miscarriages are not so groundless.
