Senior medical workers must obtain an individual license in order to carry out independent professional activities as individuals in the healthcare sector in Armenia. Anahit Avanesyan, Minister of Health, announced this during the debates on the package of bills on amendments and addenda to the Law on Medical Aid and Population Services and related laws—at Wednesday meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Health Care.

Moreover, regardless of their place of work, Avanesyan added.

Also, clinical residents, as well as persons receiving post-graduate education in military medical institutions in Armenia, must have a transitional individual medical license.

"The individual license and transitional individual license will be issued based on the results of the centralized examination. The exam will be conducted by a professional committee—[and] based on theoretical knowledge and practical skills tasks," the health minister informed.

And after quite long debates, the aforementioned package of bills was approved by the abovementioned parliamentary standing committee.
