Prime Minister and Clinic Executives Hold a Regular Meeting to Discuss Measures toward Resource Mobilization and Effective Management of Hospital Bed Capacity
2020-11-23 In light of Georgia's epidemiological situation, Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia, as part of coronavirus management, continues a series of intensive meetings with clinic executives. The meeting reiterated the importance of avoiding hospital sector overload, so that persons in urgent need of special medical services may not be left behind, to which end only severe cases should be hospitalized, and milder cases must be treated at home with active consultations with doctors, or at COVID hotels with enhanced therapeutic elements and continuous medical supervision. As Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze stated during the meeting, a sufficient number of beds has been mobilized at COVID hotels. Equipped with oxygen concentrators, they are managed by the personnel of individual clinics in order to provide patients with easier access to necessary medical services. Despite the difficult epidemiological situation in the country, the process is manageable and under control, the meeting pointed out. Facemask use and social distancing remain the key preventive measures against virus transmission. Press Service of the Government Administration
