PanARMENIAN.Net - Export of medicines from Armenia grew 20-25% in 2017, health sector representatives said at a meeting with prime minister Karen Karapetyan on Wednesday, January 17.

The export growth trend is expected to be maintained in 2018 too.

Besides, the premier was told that only two types of medicines will from now on be needed to treat cerebral infarction instead of the previous 11.
