Book excerpt: Improving health is a key concern of all societies, a crucial aspect for individuals but at the same time, it can contribute to higher economic growth and welfare. Thus health care has always been a complicated policy issue and cannot be separated from other issues that impinge on health such as growth, inequality, poverty etc. With a special reference to the Republic of Armenia, this book discusses the problem of achieving and sustaining redistributive health care in the context of inequality and low incomes and presents the pro-poor aspects of health policies in most important aspects.
