Depending on your needs, you can seek palliative care by contacting your polyclinic (local healthcare center), requesting a home visit, or visiting a hospice or other medical facility.
In the regions of the Republic of Armenia, outpatient palliative care is available in Ararat, Armavir, Kotayk, Tavush, Aragatsotn, and Vayots Dzor as part of the state order (a government-funded program).
About the Project
Palliative care is provided in different ways:
- Outpatient palliative care is available at polyclinics during working hours. It can also include home visits.
- Mobile palliative care is offered by medical institutions that provide outpatient or inpatient services. This care can also be given at the patient’s home.
- Hospital (inpatient) palliative care is provided in licensed medical facilities for patients who need hospital treatment.
- Hospice care is for patients in the final stages of illness who need long-term hospital care in specialized palliative care centers.
Requirements
To receive palliative care, a person must have a serious, ongoing, or life-limiting illness that poses a threat to their own life or the safety of others.
Required Documents
To receive palliative medical care and services, you must present:
- The patient's passport or identification card
- The patient's public service number (PSN)
Payment Amount and Procedure
Palliative care is provided free of charge, with co-payment, or on a paid basis.
Delivery Period and Procedure
Palliative care is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Polyclinic specialists refer patients to a palliative care unit. Once palliative care begins, all other medical treatments for the condition stop. This is recorded in the patient’s medical records, and a palliative care specialist takes over their care.
