Annual Medical Check-Up

The annual medical check-up is a regular practice for the periodic assessment of one’s health condition. It is intended for the early detection and prevention of potential health problems.

Health Assessment Questionnaire

Some medical institutions send a questionnaire to patients by email before their annual medical check-up. The purpose is to collect additional information such as:

  • Medical conditions,
  • Overall well-being,
  • Past surgeries,
  • Current complaints.

The answers help healthcare professionals better understand the patient's condition in advance and plan more effective examinations.

Private Health Insurance

By getting health insurance, you will be able to receive proper medical care in unforeseen or emergency situations, avoiding large expenses.

Electronic Prescription

A doctor's prescription is required for certain drugs (e.g., antibiotics). Armenia has recently transitioned to an electronic prescription system. Under this system, doctors no longer issue paper prescriptions; instead, prescriptions are entered into the ARMED medical system and can be retrieved from any pharmacy by presenting an identity document.

The section was formed in accordance with the RA Government Resolution No. 1080-N of August 15, 2019.

State Support Programs

When addressing various health concerns, you can explore state support programs established in this area. These programs aim to enhance accessibility to health monitoring and medical care for specific population groups.
