Health Minister Mikheil Sarjveladze announced that the pilot stage of Georgia’s primary healthcare reform has shown positive results. He stated that the collected data from the pilot phase is currently being analyzed, after which conclusions will be drawn to fully implement the reform at the beginning of next year.
Sarjveladze emphasized the crucial role of primary healthcare in preventing diseases and promoting overall well-being. He noted that timely access to these services helps individuals avoid illnesses that can be prevented through early intervention.
“We have gathered valuable information and held meetings with sector representatives. The data we received provides insight into various factors that may affect efficiency and the overall potential of primary healthcare,” the minister explained.
He added that this information enables the ministry to set significant objectives for strengthening the system. “Primary healthcare may not involve high-tech interventions, but its importance is no less than that of any other medical field. It plays a key role in helping citizens plan their health, improve their well-being, and prevent diseases. It is the first source of advice for people seeking to manage their health better,” Sarjveladze said.
