| Summary: | Armenia is an upper-middle-income (UMI)
country in the South Caucasus region. The Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic and a regional crisis have resulted in
the real economy's contraction following rapid growth
in the past five years. Improving access to high-quality
health care is essential for responding to non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) and preventing mortality from infectious
diseases in Armenia. Armenia is faced with the challenge of
achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) when funding for
health services faces downward pressures due to a donor
funding transition, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and
regional conflict. This report is part of the World Bank’s
technical support toward universal health coverage in
Armenia, which includes advisory services and analytics
aimed at supporting the government’s efforts to expand
access to high-quality health care. The report draws on the
Health Interventions prioritization tool to optimize
allocations across essential health services in the basic
benefits package and estimate the potential impact of these
allocations on population health. |
