Georgia has a high overall tuberculosis treatment success rate, but with wide geographical variation, and a high loss to follow up. Treatment success rate of drug-sensitive patients varies from 50% to 100%. Even more worrying has been the relatively low treatment success rates for multi-drug resistant TB patients, at around 56%.
Realizing the challenges facing the public health and healthcare system, representatives from civil society, including NGOs, media, universities, and activists decided to form an informal union – the Health Advocacy Coalition.
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”.
