AbstractTelemedicine in Armenia began with the US Telemedicine Space Bridge programme, which was introduced following the disastrous earthquake in 1988. More recently educational programmes have been established between the School of Medicine at Boston University and the Emergency Hospital in Yerevan. There are also telemedicine activities involving the Internet, for example at the Diagnostica Medical Centre in Yerevan. The future integration of telemedicine and telehealth services within the health services in Armenia will produce significant benefits. Current telemedicine activities in Armenia represent models for collaborative projects in other former Soviet republics with the aim of providing greater access to health-care at higher quality and lower cost.
