"It is nearly a year that we have annulled Diamed medical center's license. When we closed Diamed everyone also media exerted pressure on us," said Azerbaijan's Health Minister Ogtay Shiraliyev.

Minister said that it is a long time that this institution gives false medial analyses results to the patients.

"Is it right to continue functioning in this way? People spend much money, but the results of the analyses were false," the Minister said.

Shiraliyev said that though the licenses of some medical institutions were suspended, but later their function restored as they obeyed the license terms.
The Minister did not agree with the idea that the Ministry poses obstacles to the work of medical institutions.

"Health Ministry gives licenses every day, no-one can say that our ministry poses obstacles to private medical institutions. We have only one demand, let then not harm the health of population and obey the rules," he said, APA reports.
