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 3^rd 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

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.
