Dear Tamar,
Thank you for your message. I am glad to hear that you agree that a review of the resilience of the health system in Georgia is important.
This review would assess the Government's measures in COVID-19 response. The outbreak has required rapid and comprehensive approach and actions to contain transmission and gain time for healthcare system.
As proposed, the recommendations to be made on the basis of the review would support the Ministry of Health to develop strategies/decisions to the next steps of the epidemic of its national context. In addition, the system approach would help to prepare the health system for future challenges, if not crisis in the future.
A consultation with stakeholders is critical for making decisions that need to be widely supported. Thus, the paper can be shared with key stakeholders for their review and comments. Alternatively, if possible, policy dialogue can be organized in form of (on-line) meeting/s.
I would be available for further discussing this activity when it is convenient for you. Please let me know when I can call you.
Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
Best wishes,
Lajos

Tárgy: RE: Proposal for review of health system
Dear Lajos
Many thanks for sharing these very important documents and a proposal for a review of the resilience of the Georgian health system. Such review would be very useful at this stage. It is very important for us to convene a stakeholder consultation to plan for the next phases of the response. May I kindly ask what’s your thinking about implementing this activity?
Would be happy to discuss more at your convenience.
Best

Subject: Proposal for review of health system
Dear Tamar,
I hope you and your family are well.
Now, when Georgia has started to lift the coronavirus related restrictions which were banned under the state of emergency, and economic recovery and post-crisis management become priorities of the Government, it is also important and timely to think about and discuss how health system functions can be strengthened after the outbreak ends.
Considering the above mentioned, please find attached a proposal for a review of the resilience of the Georgian health system.
Can you please let me know if you find such a review and discussion interesting and useful at this time. If so, the paper may be used internally for planning and monitoring the activities in the next phases of the coronavirus epidemic, or even it could present/introduce the approaches and methods Georgia applied in the COVID-19 response so far. In addition, this exercise would fit well into the preparation of the National Health Strategy, too.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best wishes,
Lajos
