MEDam: Armenia’s Digital Medical Tourism Platform
MEDam brings Armenia’s medical and tourism services together. Here is who is developing it, which specialties it started with, and how the government is involved.
In 2026, MEDam, a digital medical tourism platform, launched in Armenia. Its goal is to bring medical services, licensed doctors, insurers, and tour operators together in one place so international patients can plan their treatment and entire trip.
Who is behind the platform
Anni Keshishyan, co-founder and CEO of Bridged Corp, told Armenpress that MEDam was conceived as infrastructure, rather than simply a directory. Its primary role is to present Armenia as a destination, rather than individual doctors.
The platform works closely with the Tourism Committee. Its then-chair, Lusine Gevorgyan, said that the Ministry of Health, the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, and the Tourism Committee had signed a memorandum of cooperation. The memorandum aims to give patients legal guarantees and confidence that they are consulting licensed specialists.
Which specialties it started with
In its first phase, the platform focused on three specialties:
- cosmetic treatments;
- plastic surgery;
- dentistry.
There are plans to add ophthalmology, orthopedics, and other specialties later.
Hotels for recovery
According to the head of the Tourism Committee, the committee is working with the platform to select hotels suitable for recovery after treatment. Rooms in these hotels should have appropriate furniture and access to nursing care.
What this means for patients
The government wants international patients to receive care from licensed doctors. But even when using the platform, the same rule applies: ask the clinic for a written treatment plan, a cost estimate, and a copy of its license, then compare proposals from several clinics.
