Vakhtang Kaloiani: Epidemiological situation is getting worse, quite difficult weeks are expected

The epidemiological situation is getting worse, the number of infected patients is increasing, unfortunately, quite difficult weeks are expected, - Vakhtang Kaloiani, the Secretary of European Georgia for Healthcare affairs, said at the briefing.

"The epidemiological situation is getting worse, the number of infected patients is increasing, unfortunately, quite difficult weeks are expected, which is reflected in the pressure on the hospital sector.

The number of free beds is also decreasing. Hopefully, the Ministry of Health will mobilize the beds in time and we will not go through the dramatic months like November-December again.

It is very important to timely mobilize intensive care units, to re-inspect the equipment and to have coordination between family physician, 112 and hospital sector to ensure timely hospitalization and assistance of all infected critically ill patients.

Unfortunately, apart from some infrastructural improvements during these months, the Ministry of Health has not taken any steps towards systemic improvements. This is vital in light of the failed vaccination process we are facing", - Kaloiani said.
