Dear Laura,
Many thanks for your e-mail. Glad to hear that contractual arrangements with Mr. Zangurashvili has been finalized. Hope this will also be completed soon for Madam Mogaideli so we can resume our work with a technical team leader on board.
We can have timesheets signed by myself or a designated staff member at the ministry, please let me know if needed.
With kind regards
Tamar

Dear Mirela, dear Tamar,
This is just a short email to confirm that contractual arrangements have been finalized with Mr Archil Zangurashvili, so you can contact him already to arrange the details on when and how he is needed to start contributing to the project. He has been recruited for 30 working days over the project period. This can be extended if need be in view of the specific needs of the project.
Dear Nika,
We will expect the local support experts to sign timesheets in order to justify their working time during the project. My question is: since their fees are paid from the reimbursable budget line for local support, do you need their timesheets to be signed by you, by Tamar or just by the Team Leader? Will we then be submitting these timesheets with the interim and final invoices, as if their days were covered by the “fees” part of the budget?
We will keep you informed of any further development concerning the recruitment of the other experts.
With best regards,
Laura

Dear Nika
We will make sure to proceed as requested. Our only hurdle at the moment is getting hold of Dr. Nogaideli. As we already mentioned in a previous communication, we have her email at the Ministry, where she no longer works. We tried contacting her via LinkedIn with no reply. If you happen to have her personal email address we would be grateful if you could share it.
With best regards

Dear Mirela
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Much appreciated! I would like to kindly ask Ms. KOCHISHVILI to facilitate communication on staff selection with the recruiting team. On our side I can provide the email list of ICU experts to circulate the job announcement.
Dr. Darakhvelidze has an exceptional competencies, however given the level of engagement of Dr. Nogaideli with initial work, we prefer to have her continuously working with the team.
As for the dates for the next mission- my only concern with the proposed dates is that April 19th is Orthodox Easter, with nonworking days on April 17th and 20th Otherwise the proposed period is fine with us.
I would wait for your feedback and plan accordingly.
With kind regards
Tamar

Dear Dr. Gabunia, thank you for the immediate involvement in the project issues. We completely agree that recruitment of the local specialists is priority action. Regarding that here are our remarks:
1. expert for RIA – Vakhtang Chkheidze (Acceptable)
-we would appreciate Mr Vakhtang’s CV in Euro-pass format
2. expert in intensive care medicine
- we agree with suggestion for circulation of the job announcement among the group of Georgian ICU specialists
3. expert in nomotechnic - Achi Zangurashvili
- due to Mr Achi Zangurashvili’s prior engagements in EU acquis transposition we can consider him appropriate candidate for this job
4. key senior expert /medical doctor - Marina Darakhvelidze/ Natia Nogaideli
-regarding this position we consider both candidates equally qualified. The asset on dr. Marina Darakhvelidze’s side is proficiency in English language. However, we leave the final decision on you.
We would appreciate if you can confirm proposed dates for the 3rd mission (14th April to 3rd May) and the working days number (20 days including the weekend days) at your earliest convenience what will allow us to adapt our work schedules timely.
With much appreciation
Mirela

Dear Mirela
Many thanks for your e-mail and follow up on this important task. Dr. Zaza Bokhua has recently left his post at the ministry and moved to Tbilisi State Medical University to pursue his academic carrier. I will be taking coordinating role on behalf of the ministry on SoHO related activities. I’ve familiarized myself with the inception report and would be happy to facilitate follow up activities. I also had a chance to review CVs of local consultants. As an immediate first action, I think it is important to finalize recruitment and bring them on board. Below you can find my feedback on the proposed candidates:
- expert for RIA – Vakhtang Chkheidze (Acceptable)
- expert in intensive care medicine - Sofio Beridze (I would suggest to circulate the job announcement among the group of Georgian ICU specialists and consider more candidates)
- expert in nomotechnic - Achi Zangurashvili (Acceptable, the ministry highly recommends this candidate based on his prior successful engagement with TB and tobacco control legislation)
- key senior expert /medical doctor - Marina Darakhvelidze – instead of Dr. Darakhvelidze we recommend to consider engagement of Ms. Natia Nogaideli as a key senior expert. Natia has left the ministry in January however, given her extensive engagement in this work in the past, It would be helpful to bring her back in a new role.
Once we have the team of local specialists selected we could move ahead with the technical work.
I look forward to hearing from you.
