Scientific Projects

ArMA has a competent research team who has successfully completed the following surveys: Arterial Hypertension Knowledge Survey among Physicians in Yerevan; Blood Pressure Screening and Survey in Yerevan Adult Population; and Medical Care Quality Evaluation at Arterial Hypertension in Health Care Institutions of Yerevan. The survey results will be generalized during the seminar organized through 29-30th April, 2005.

Among the realized projects are regular clinical fairs of medical teams to the far-away regions of Armenia.

The future projects are:
