"In September, when the "Comprehensive Health Insurance" project was not yet approved, the Ministry of Health made purchases of millions of drams for something that did not exist. In September, the Ministry of Health signed an agreement with Domino Video Production LLC for the branding of the Comprehensive Health Insurance Fund. The contract cost AMD 32,760,000. The contract stipulates the creation of a complete brand image system, which will include the name (brand naming), logo, corporate style (color palette, font, graphics, etc.).
The interesting thing is that in September, when the National Assembly was still examining the draft, it was too early to talk about the prospect of adopting it.
After being discussed in the National Assembly committee, approved by the National Assembly and justified in the government sessions, with the efforts of Avanesyan, the health insurance program began to "operate" from January 1, even without the appropriate fund and without the appropriate staff.
It turns out that Anahit Avanesyan, under the leadership of the government, "told the boy to hop before he had even flown." they made state purchases from even one person, hoping and being deeply convinced that even if it is the worst project, the National Assembly will approve it.
Let's remind that 18 billion drams were planned for "Comprehensive Health Insurance", but since it was not invested in 2024, the money was not spent in that direction. RA Minister of Finance said this during the preliminary discussion of the "Budget-2025" project in the National Assembly.
"210 billion 911 million drams are planned to be allocated to the Ministry of Health in 2026. It is 44 billion 313 million drams more compared to 2025 due to the introduction of the universal health insurance system next year," Minister of Finance Vahe Hovhannisyan informed about this at the joint budget session of the NA standing committees. The minister also added that 127 billion drams are planned for the investment of health insurance in the state budget.
