The heads of the branches have already been appointed. Yashar Gojayev is the head of the Mingachevir branch and Azer Demirov and Isa Mammadov are the heads of the Ganja and Guba branches, respectively.

In addition to representing the Agency in the regions, the branches will organize the work of receiving citizens, considering and responding to their inquiries in accordance with the relevant legislation.
Branches will take measures to protect the health of the population and carry out educational activities to promote compulsory health insurance. They will also support the Agency in evaluating healthcare registers submitted by medical facilities on health services provided under mandatory health insurance, as well as in analyzing of information. In addition, the branches will take appropriate steps to address the technical problems that may arise in the management of the software used by medical facilities.
