Universal Health Care

To increase access and quality of healthcare, in February 2013, the Universal Health Care Program (UHC) was launched for citizens. With the implementation of the new program the Government gave a minimum service package guarantee for the entire population with no state or private insurance. The program provides citizens with better financial and geographic access to primary health care and urgent hospital and outpatient services.

Over the past several years the program design has been improved and differential packages have been launched for: Socially vulnerable people, Pensioners, children aged 0-6, teachers, students, internally displaced persons, persons with disabilities and others as well as the special packages have been introduced for citizens with different amounts of income. Funding of the program is gradually increasing, in 2020 actual funding amounted 964 million GEL, that is 6 percent of total state budget spending.
