Introductory Meeting on the project ‘Embedding Rapid Reviews in Health Policy-Making’

On November 5, the Committee on Health and Social Affairs of the Parliament of Georgia will host an introductory meeting on the project Embedding Rapid Reviews in Health Policy-Making.

The project is jointly implemented by the “Curatio International Foundation” and the Committee on Health and Social Affairs of the Parliament of Georgia. The project aims at building capacities of evidence-based decision-making in the field of healthcare policy development.

The project provides for developing rapid reviews and policy briefs on topical health policy issues. A rapid review is an accelerated version of a systematic review regarded as a golden standard in generating an evidence base. It is grounded on the systematic review methodology, though is less time-consuming, which is an important factor for policy decision-making. The project is funded by the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (AHPSR).

The meeting brought together members of the Committee on Health and Social Affairs and the research department of the Parliament of Georgia and representatives of the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia and the National Centre for Disease Control and Public Health.
