Dear Tamar,

 

Thank you for the prompt feedback.

Well noted and the distribution list is adjusted accordingly.

 

We just got an updated info from the supplier about the possibility to produce locally TV Mobile Stands. This is much better than fixing the TV sets on the wall, but will take an additional week.

So, we hope installation work could start the week after next – 4-8 May.

 

I will be in touch with Maia for all the other details.

 

With best regards,

Silviu

Dear Silviu

Many thanks for sharing this. I’ve made some adjustment into the attached distribution list to align it with the Governmental resolution 253 as of April 17th 2020 which defines the list of COVID treating hospitals. I am forwarding this correspondence to Maya Nikoleishvili for her follow up on formal authorization, and communication with clinics. We will inform clinics about the anticipated installation so that they provide PPEs to workers as needed.

I would suggest to first start installation works in Tbilisi, Gori and Kutaisi that would not require overnight stay. For travel authorization we will coordinate with relevant authorities. May I kindly ask what is the calendar for the installation work?

With kind regards

Tamar

Dear Tamar,

 

Under the same initiative funded by USAID, we are currently buying video-conferencing equipment, to be installed in the main designated hospitals and laboratories and to be used for distance training of personnel and any other video-communication, in case of need.

 

You can see attached the distribution list. We have some flexibility for the distribution of equipment to be brought to WHO country office – some of it might go to Abkhazia, and some – to the ministry, NCDC or any other important hospital or lab facility.

Please, let us know if any stringent need.

 

We also have some requests from the supplier and I would like to coordinate them with the ministry and NCDC (see below in yellow background).

 

First, they ask for an official authorization, in order to deliver the equipment to the mentioned institutions by car. We can give them an official letter from WHO. Would that be enough? If not, could you please help in issuing the appropriate authorization?

 

And second, they ask for the protection of the installation team. We don’t have any PPEs in the office for the moment. Would it be possible that the benefiting institutions provide them PPEs locally, along with a short instruction on infection prevention during installation?

 

Thank you and looking forward to your answer,

 

With best regards,

Silviu

Dear Vasily.

 

Thank you for the locations update.

 

I've prepared detailed MS Excel datasheet (WHO VC locations list v1.0.xlsx) with the addresses, map locations and quantities of the VC sets to be delivered and installed - please confirm if everything is correct.

 

As per VC system installation - VC system (TV together with the laptop) should be installed at the TV Mobile Stand (see attached file TV Stand.pdf) - this is the most user friendly and comfortable solution. System usage will be very simple - users will be able to re-locate TV stand to any desired location to conduct a Video Conference upon their needs. Unfortunately, local suppliers do not provide such hardware. If you would like - we may deliver TV stand from our foreign partner - but it will take time to deliver. Otherwise, the most reliable method to fix TV is to hang on TV on the wall permanently. In this case, laptop should be mounted oh some table or surface near to TV - there's some cables connecting TV and laptop one to another, and we are limited with the length of these cables.

 

Due to the lockdown, obviously, we will face some logistics and safety challenges. I would like to ask you some questions:

 

1. Installation team travel and hardware delivery to the designated location?

As you surely know, according to the latest ban/restrictions of the Georgian Government, we are unable to travel by a car without appropriate license from officials. We will need to get some authorization from officials to proceed with the travel/transportation across the Georgia. Or will WHO provide car with the driver and authorization?

2. Installation team accommodation at remote sites. Most probably, Hotels/Guest Houses are on lockdown. So, this issue should be resolved as well. Any suggestions?

3. Installation team safety during installation at sites. What measures should be taken to prevent my installation team members from infection during sites installation works? Safety gear? What is the "Must Have" safety equipment/procedures? Will WHO supply us with the appropriate stuff?

 

Please, let me know your vision on that matter.

 

Sincerely,

Oleg.
