Description
The Georgian Government is working on the overhaul of the entire healthcare system and the complete refurbishment of its infrastructure. Instead of the existing state-owned 600 hospitals that are mainly dysfunctional, 150 new and well-equipped hospitals will be built by 2014, which will fully correspond to international standards. Unified online healthcare database is being created: http://ehealth.moh.gov.ge that will provide individuals with exhaustive information about available services in various healthcare institutions.
