Abstract
Dramatic socio-political and economic shifts which have occurred in Eastern Europe in the past decade have significantly influenced the health of women and newborns. High unemployment rates, low salaries, and inability to support more than one child are common challenges for women and families. High rates of abortion and most families having only one child has resulted in a declining population in Armenia. In addition, health care for women in Eastern Europe has been seriously fragmented since the fall of Communism compounded by a lack of health care resources.
