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.
