About Us

HealthRights.am is developed by Antidrugs Civil Union NGO, a non-profit organization committed to advancing the health, basic rights, social equality, and self-determination of disadvantaged persons and groups, especially, injecting drug users. We believe that health for all people is only possible in a global society where the guiding principles are sharing, mutual assistance, and respect for cultural and individual differences.

We are aimed at producing clear, accurate, and up to date information about your health rights. We can also provide interactive assistance to those involved in producing patient information via FAQs and our Library.

We hope this website will be a useful resource for both patients and information providers worldwide and in Armenia.
