Armenia (i/ɑːrˈmiːniə/, /-ˈmiːnjə/;Armenian: Հայաստան, tr. Hayastan, IPA: [hɑjɑsˈtɑn]), officially the Republic of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Հանրապետություն, tr. Hayastani Hanrapetut’yun), is a sovereign state in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located in Western Asia, it is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the south.
Armenia is a unitary, multi-party, democratic nation-state with an ancient cultural heritage. The Kingdom of Van was established in 860 BC and by the 6th century BC it was replaced by the Satrapy of Armenia. In the 1st century BC the Kingdom of Armenia reached its height under Tigranes the Great. Armenia became the first state in the world to adopt Christianity as its official religion. In between the late 3rd century to early years of the 4th century, the state became "the first Christian nation." The official date of state adoption of Christianity was 301 AD. The ancient Armenian kingdom was split between the Byzantine and Sasanid empires around the early 5th century. Under the Bagratuni dynasty, the Armenian Kingdom was restored in the 9th century. Declining due to the wars against the Byzantines, the kingdom fell in 1045 and Armenia was soon after invaded by the Seljuk Turks. An Armenian principality and later a kingdom Cilician Armenia was located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea between the 11th and 14th centuries.
Health care or healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings. Health care is delivered by health professionals (providers or practitioners) in allied health professions, chiropractic, physicians, dentistry, midwifery, nursing, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, psychology, and other health professions. It includes the work done in providing primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care, as well as in public health.
Access to health care varies across countries, groups, and individuals, largely influenced by social and economic conditions as well as the health policies in place. Countries and jurisdictions have different policies and plans in relation to the personal and population-based health care goals within their societies. Health care systems are organizations established to meet the health needs of target populations. Their exact configuration varies between national and subnational entities. In some countries and jurisdictions, health care planning is distributed among market participants, whereas in others, planning occurs more centrally among governments or other coordinating bodies. In all cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a robust financing mechanism; a well-trained and adequately-paid workforce; reliable information on which to base decisions and policies; and well maintained health facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies.

Abstract: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia’s health care system has undergone significant transformation, while maintaining many of the features of the “Semashko” system. There is a lack of objective data on how effective attempts to improve the health care system have been. Furthermore, the data that do exist are fragmented, prone to inaccuracies, and often do not measure the critical indicators of the state of health care or effectiveness of reforms. Generally speaking, efforts to improve any health care system should focus on three main concepts: maximizing access, minimizing costs, and optimizing the quality of care delivered. Practically speaking, this can only be done by analyzing and intervening at the level of all fields that contribute to healthcare. These include, ...

The Syunik and Vayots Dzor provinces in southern Armenia produce things Armenian consumers have a big appetite for: high quality beef and dairy products. Many families have cattle but are unable to make the most of their livestock: poor animal fodder and limited access to veterinarians and to markets for their produce mean most farmers in the region live at subsistence level. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) project is helping farmers from 100 rural communities to increase their milk and meat production, thereby increasing their incomes. Around 14,000 families (almost 60,000 people) benefit directly and indirectly from the project. This will be achieved by improving animal health through supporting local veterinarian services, supporting better access to milk and meat...
