Another group of citizens to be included in  universal health  insurance system by 2027

ArmInfo.  Taxi drivers operating through electronic taxi platforms will become beneficiaries of the compulsory health insurance system starting January 1, 2027.   The decision to amend the law "On Universal Health Insurance" will be  discussed at an extraordinary session of the RA National Assembly  on  April 7.

As Deputy Minister of Health of the Republic of Armenia Lena  Nanushyan noted in her speech, it is envisaged that, starting January  1, 2027, project participants will also be able to include  interconnected persons ( family members and dependents).

The Deputy Minister emphasized that, despite the mandatory nature of  the universal health insurance system, the Ministry of Health would  nevertheless like to see a shift in public perception.  "We want the  citizens to view this system as a desirable benefit rather than just  a legal obligation," she stated. According to the amendments the  deadline for individual entrepreneurs to make their annual medical  insurance premium payments will be pushed back from April 20 to June  20.
