Yeolyan, where the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Armenia works, is described by Yerevan's municipality as a Ministry of Health centre; its 2016 modernisation was carried out by the Ministry with government and World Bank funds. Erebouni Medical Center's patient page says a Universal Health Insurance system was introduced from 1 January 2026 and is being implemented in phases, first covering groups that include people under 18 and people aged 65 and over, and that the lists of covered diseases, screenings and medicines are published by the Ministry and the Insurance Fund.
