Public funding for health services in Armenia is poor, making the role of international organisation important in the financing of services. One oncologist has made the following comments concerning funding:
… Because the financing of the system of public health is very poor, the assistance of public and international organisations is necessary (approximately 3,500 patients are registered every year as incurable) in
supplying with medicaments, in solving the sanitary/hygienic problems of patients, [and in giving] moral and psychological help. The organisation of hospices and ensuring their sound financing requires the co-operation and mutual aid of countries and members of the [EAPC] Eastern European palliative care project.'5
