In 2023, only the [medical] drugs with centralized state purchases were completely transferred to electronic prescriptions, this year this process will continue, and during the year we will completely go out of the scope of paper prescriptions. The Minister of Health of Armenia, Anahit Avanesyan, stated this during a press conference Friday.

"Here there is no issue of the person’s access to electronic tools. The doctor writes out a prescription in electronic format, the pharmacies are connected to the system. The person goes to the pharmacy with an identity document, the pharmacy gets access to the electronic prescription, and dispenses the medicine. There is no need for additional actions by the person here. Pharmacies are all connected to the system, all mechanisms are activated. We are already writing out prescriptions in an experimental way. We will switch to fully electronic prescriptions by the middle of the year," added the minister of health of Armenia.
