Armenia’s Ministry of Healthcare will focus on three main programs of
activity this year, said Deputy Minister of Healthcare Tatul Hakobyan
at a press conference today.

In particular, the ministry will continue its plan to develop and
modernize the regions proportional to cities. This year, the ministry
will focus on renovated medical centres located in Goris, Ararat,
Armavir and Idjevan. A contemporary medical centre will be built in
Armenia’s second largest city, Gyumri.

The ministry will also be focusing its efforts on modernizing emergency
services and will attempt to regulate the price of pharamaceuticals
(considered to be exorbitant by most).
