Georgian President met with Georgian doctors working in the United States. Mikheil Saakashvili spoke with them about the reforms carried out in the health-care field. 

According to the first person of the state, Georgia will soon become center of Europe in terms of medicine. The President also touched on the issue of developing the resort zones of the country and noted that rehabilitation tourism has a big potential in this sense.

 “The medical sector is developing noticeably in Georgia. 150 large and small clinics are being opened around the entire country. I have a claim that we are creating the most modern medical system across Eastern Europe and the Post-Soviet space. We already have several large hospitals in Tbilisi and the Koreans are now building one more 200 bed hospital, which will cost about 250-300 million USD. I think it will be the largest of all newly-opened medical centers in Eastern Europe and Post-Soviet space.” – noted Mikheil Saakashvili.

The president focused on necessity of developing rehabilitation resorts and noted that the state has a great resource in this term. 

“A medical sector is being recreated in Georgia; not the one which envisions serving a small country with 5 million residents, but the one that will make Georgia the center for the entire region and like tourism, this will bring large income to the economy of Georgia” – the President noted.
