Based on the decision reached in a meeting between doctors, the Prime Minister, and the Health Minister, the Republican Hospital’s reorganization process will be halted, and the current building will not be demolished until a new one is built. Further, a relevant legal document will be prepared, said Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
To the question as to whether the proposal on compensation would be declared null and void for those physicians who signed it, the PM said that the details would be finalized shortly.
“As for other issues, we will hold talks with both the hospital staff and Health Ministry. No problems should exist for the hospital to continue work at full capacity,” he said.
Kobakhidze further remarked that a new hospital would be constructed in several years. He said the sustainability of the current building was not at risk and measures would be taken to improve the infrastructure that would “best serve the interests of both the state and medical personnel.”
Republican Hospital medical personnel gathered today to express their gratitude for the decision made by Prime Minister Kobakhidze regarding the suspension of the dismantling of the Republican Hospital building.
The doctors considered this decision an essential step and extended their thanks to all individuals involved in this decision.
