YEREVAN, OCTOBER 13, ARMENPRESS: The United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) will help Armenian health ministry
to implement an efficient medicines management project.

As part of the project an extensive study will be carried out to learn
the real extent of medication demand, which, according to deputy health
minister Tatoul Hakobian, may differ substantially from the amount of
medicines imported by local companies. The study will be carried out
based on a range of peculiarities, such as life expectancy, death
rate and other indices and only then a new procedure of efficient
medicines management will be developed. The project will be launched
in 2005 and run into 2007.
