Total healthcare expenditure in Armenia`s GDP to decrease in 2025

ArmInfo. In 2025, Armenia plans to allocate AMD164.5 billion or 1.5% of GDP (4.7% of total  expenditure) on healthcare. This is a slight decrease from the AMD 169.9 billion and 1.6% of GDP (5.3% of total expenditure) that was allocated in 2024. In 2023, the actual expenditure on the healthcare sector was AMD141.3 billion or 1.5% of GDP (5.5% of total expenditure).  This is outlined in the message regarding the state  budget for the upcoming year.

In 2025, the allocations from the RA Ministry of Health will amount  to AMD 162,996.5 million (including expenses for maintaining the  administrative apparatus). These funds will be used to implement the  following programs:

AMD 7,361.1 million are allocated within the framework of the Public  Health Protection Program. The goal of the project is to eliminate  and reduce the impact of harmful and dangerous environmental factors  on the human body, and to combat preventable infectious diseases.

AMD 31,629.6 million are allocated for the primary health care  program. The goal of the program is to provide accessible and  high-quality primary health care services to the population, identify  risk factors for health deterioration and prevent any possible  adverse consequences.

AMD 651.9 million are allocated for the forensic medical and  pathological services program. The aim is to conduct forensic genetic  examinations based on decisions of law enforcement agencies in the  Republic to determine the causes of death by examining corpses, as  well as to enhance the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. The  expected outcome of the project is to identify the causes of death.  AMD 5525.3 million will be allocated for drug provision. The costs of  the consulting, professional support and research program will total  AMD 407.4 million. The goal of the project is to ensure professional,  consulting, organizational and methodological regulation of the  organization and improvement of the quality of medical care. This  includes assessing the results of the system's activities and  providing medical services in regional healthcare organizations in  the Republic of Armenia through the temporary referral of medical  specialists.

AMD 23. 017 billion have been allocated for the maternal and child  health program. The goal of the program is to maintain the health of  mothers and children, enhance the availability and quality of medical  services provided to women and children. As a result, it is expected  to decrease child and maternal mortality and morbidity rates, and  improve women's reproductive health.

AMD 5. 311 billion have been allocated for the emergency medical care  program. AMD 32,880.3 million have been planned for the provision of  medical care for non-communicable diseases. AMD 38,627.9 million have  been allocated for the medical care program for socially vulnerable  and certain segments of the population. AMD 2,340.6 million will be  allocated for the infectious disease prevention program.

Under the program for modernizing and improving the efficiency of the  healthcare system, a total of AMD 1,631.7 million will be allocated  from the state budget. Of this amount, AMD 1,335.0 million will be  for credit and grant funds, and AMD 296.7 million will be for  co-financing. Additionally, AMD 12,283.1 million have been allocated  in the state budget for the implementation of construction, design  and technical re-equipment of healthcare organizations. These funds  will be utilized for the construction and technical re- equipment of  50 medical organizations as outlined in the activity plan. 

It is worth noting that if in the budget message for 2024, several  paragraphs were <highlighted> for the introduction of Universal  Health Insurance. Specifically, it was stated that more than AMD 26  billion would be allocated for this purpose in the current year, with  AMD18 billion designated for implementing measures to introduce the  IUS. However, in the current message, the financial authorities only  included one sentence: <In the near future, it is planned to prepare  the healthcare system for the introduction of comprehensive health  insurance by implementing measures aimed at improving the quality of  the healthcare sector>.
