The Armenian government, at Thursday's Cabinet session, established a registry of persons' medical histories for universal health insurance in Armenia.

This registry is an online database containing personal and non-personal data necessary for the proper implementation of health insurance in the country.

The explanation for this decision states that it is being adopted urgently, since such a registry is necessary for the operation of the universal health insurance system in Armenia, and the system came into force in the country on January 1.

This registry will work together with other Armenian state databases.

It is noted that this registry will operate in the online health system in Armenia, and the insured person, by logging into the online health system Armed, will be able to get familiarized with his status as an insured person—insured or not, what this universal health insurance covers, etc..

And the Ministry of Health will be able to process the persons' personal data to improve this universal health insurance system in Armenia.
