Gabunia Notes Clinics are Prepared to Meet Challenges Associated with Spread of New Strain

First Deputy Minister of Health Tamar Gabunia met with the heads of Covid clinics to  discuss the new strain of Omicron and the readiness of medical facilities. The conversation focused on the introduction of new drugs against coronavirus.

The First Deputy Minister noted that the healthcare system is ready for the new wave, but at the same time vaccination and the use of booster doses remain the main tools.

“The world today is dealing with a new wave of Omicron. We talked to the clinics about their readiness and to understand what challenges they see. Fortunately, today, the workload of clinics is not high, about half the patient capacity. Readiness remains high, the staff is ready, new protocols work, clinics have stock of medicines, and I think they are fully prepared to meet the challenges that may be associated with the spread of the new strain,” stated Tamar Gabunia.

She also noted they talked about the vaccination process, especially among medical staff. An incentive scheme has been started for citizens over 50 years of age, after receiving the first dose after vaccination, the citizen receives an incentive of 200 GEL.
