The Soviet domination of the health system in Armenia was such that no traces of pre-Soviet healthcare traditions were discernible at the time of independence in 1991. Rather, the country inherited a highly centralised system. The entire population was guaranteed free medical assistance, regardless of social status, and had access to a comprehensive range of secondary and tertiary care.
