| Summary: | Armenia has made significant gains in
population health, but faces challenges in ensuring health
care access, due to financial barriers. As mortality caused
by infectious diseases has fallen over the past two decades,
the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has
increased. The NCD burden can be reduced via public health
measures, such as tobacco control exposure, and access to
high-quality health care. However, financial barriers to
access are a significant challenge. |
