  • The Armenian SORT IT Course Free Hospitalization for Acute Respiratory
    The Armenian SORT IT Course Free hospitalization for acute respiratory infections in children: what effect and how much does it cost for Armenia? Sergey Sargsyan1, Diana Andreasyan2, Samvel Kharazyan3, Olga Denisiuk4, Karapet Davtyan5, Rony Zachariah6 1 Arabkir Medical Center – Institute of Child and Adolescent Health, Yerevan State Medical University, Yerevan, Armenia 2 National Institute of Health, Yerevan, Armenia 3 Health Economists Association, Yerevan, Armenia 4 Alliance for Public Health, Kiev, Ukraine 5 Tuberculosis Research and Prevention Center, Yerevan, Armenia 6 United Nations Children’s Fund / United Nations Developmental Program / World Bank / World Health Organization Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract Introduction: The “Child Certificate” program, launched in Armenia in 2011, made hospitalization for children less than seven years free in order to improve access to hospitalization, reduce out-of-pocket expenses and ensure Universal Health Coverage. We aimed to estimate trends in the number of outpatient and hospitalized acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases and related under-five mortality. Methodology: Cross-sectional study using data from national databases before (2008-2011) and after (2012-2017) Program implementation. The diagnosis of ARI was based on the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10). Results: The average hospitalization per 1000 children under 14 and infants increased by 85% and 75% respectively, compared with the period before the introduction of the Program, while the frequency of outpatient visits remained unchanged. The ARI-related mortality in children less than five years and in infants decreased by 11% and 19%, respectively. Financial allocations for ARI-associated hospitalizations amounted to 2.1 billion Armenian drams in 2011 and increased to 3.3 billion drams in 2016 (an increase of 57%).

The development of these materials has been designed by the ASTP as a three-step process: Step 1: The conduct of a needs assessment to identify vulnerable groups in Armenia and their health problems/needs; Step 2: The design and modification of health education/health promotion materials; and, Step 3: The development of a curriculum for training health providers in the use of the health materi- als and the conduct a Training of Trainers course for Armenian Master Trainers in the use of the cur- riculum. This report represents Step 1 of this process. In this report, vulnerable population groups in Armenia are identified along with their major health problems and needs. The report concludes by presenting a list of rec- ommended health topics that can be addressed through health education, followed by an exploration of chan- nels for the delivery of these health education topics to vulnerable groups.
