Dear Keti and Mamuka

Many thanks to you for the work you’ve done with Triin, Erica and Allison (copied) to finalise the report on financial protection in Georgia and for your patience in this long process.

The attached report is now ready for external peer review.

If you have no objection, we would like to send the attached report to Dr Kaki Zoidze (former Chair of the Parliamentary Healthcare and Social Issues Committee) and Dr Volkan Cetinkaya (the World Bank) for their feedback. We have selected these two people, in consultation with the WHO Country Office in Georgia, on the basis of their technical expertise in this area and their knowledge of the health system in Georgia. We will ask them to focus on the report’s quality and consistency (to ensure it is correct in its detail and interpretation) and to suggest any further material that they think would strengthen the analysis. They will be acknowledged as external referees in the published document. We will ask them not to cite or circulate the report.

I hope these names are acceptable to you, but please let me know – in the next 24 hours if possible – if you have any concerns.

Many thanks and best wishes

Sarah
