Negotiations were held with Ruben Melkonyan, the person selected as a result of the competitive selection for the position of Director General of the Universal Health Insurance Fund held on June 24 of this year, regarding the terms and conditions for assuming his employment duties. However, in the absence of Ruben Melkonyan’s formal consent to the official employment offer presented to him, a new competitive selection is planned to be held on the grounds that the position remains vacant, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Armenia and the Charter of the Universal Health Insurance Fund.
Taking into account the need to ensure the normal operation and proper day-to-day management of the Universal Health Insurance Fund, Hayk Babayan has been appointed Acting Director General of the Fund, in accordance with the law, until the vacant position of Director General is filled in accordance with the established procedure. He will assume his duties within the prescribed timeframe.
