2.6 Armenia Storage Assessment

Overview

With recent business activities and finalization of the privatization process, all possibly available storage buildings have been completely occupied, especially in Yerevan. The majority are used as storage area for companies' own needs and commercial renting of storage space as a separate entity is very limited.

It is difficult to find good storage with railroad access, especially for short term rent. Nowadays, some storage space is available in the north part of Armenia in the towns of Vanadzor and Gyumri. As a rule, almost all available storage area needs renovation. One of the recently built warehouse complexes is in Gyumri; however, this warehouse currently does not have rail connection with the rail station. The branch was disassembled back in 1992. The approximate price per square meter per month is from 480 AMD (US$1.08) up to 960 AMD (US$ 2.34). The price varies from duration, railroad branch and etc.

Medical Supplies

Specific cold chain requirements for handling and transporting temperature sensitive medical supplies or vaccines within Armenia:

To issue the import certificate, the Ministry of Health requires a temperature detector report for medicines stored and transported under special temperature conditions.

The processes of importation, transportation, distribution and storage of vaccines, vaccination accessories and equipment in the Republic of Armenia are regulated by the order No. 21-N of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Armenia dated August 17, 2020 ("Organization and implementation of the immunization process in the organizations providing medical care and service in the Republic of Armenia" SR 3.3.1.003-20 sanitary rules and hygienic norms) as well as by Order No. 361-A of the Minister of Health dated February 14, 2019 ("Standard operating procedures for the effective management of the import, transport, distribution and storage processes of vaccines, vaccination ancillary supplies").

All individuals holding a GDP certificate issued by the Ministry of Health should have designated facilities or storage areas equipped with temperature-controlled environments to maintain the integrity of cold chain items, or they should outsource this activity.
