Armenia's Government has chosen the Croatian company Ericsson Nikola Tesla for the design and implementation of an e-health system in Armenia.

This pilot project is aimed at modernising Armenia's health care system by introducing modern information communication technologies to improve the quality of health services.

The project, which includes the implementation of a central hospital information system and a central integrated health care system, will last 95 days and cover six hospitals and insurance companies.

The head of the Armenian department in charge of implementing e-governance infrastructure (EKENG CJSC), Arthur Ghulyan, said the implementation of the project required streamlining Armenia's entire health system by introducing modern information communication technologies which ensure medical services that are of high quality, reliable, affordable and cost-efficient.
