Health in Armenia

After a significant decline in earlier decades, crude^[a] birth rates in Armenia slightly increased from 13.0 (per 1000 people) in the year 1998 to 14.2 in 2015;^[1] this timeframe also showed a similar trajectory in the crude death rate, which grew from 8.6 to 9.3.^[2] Life expectancy at birth at 74.8 years was the 4th-highest among the Post-Soviet states in 2014.^[3]

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative^[4] finds that Armenia is fulfilling 74.6% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.^[5] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Armenia achieves 97.5% of what is expected based on its current income. In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves 91.3% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income. Armenia falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 35.1% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.^[6]
