In Georgia, our primary focus is developing the healthcare sector and increasing access to and quality of care, especially in rural areas. At the same time, we focus on developing social services, particularly for people with special needs. In cooperation with the local Ministry of Health, we bring about systemic changes in healthcare and social services.
