To combat Covid-19, Georgia received 1,000 oxygen concentrators, 500 non-invasive medical airway ventilators, up to 400 hospital beds, and combined CPAPs under a World Bank project.
Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze inspected the medical equipment at the Tbilisi Republican Hospital jointly with the World Bank Regional Director.
Medical equipment is intended for the management of COVID-patients with breathing problems. It can also be used at home under the supervision of medical staff.
"Within the framework of the World Bank project, we were provided with 1000 oxygen concentrators, CPAPs and combined CPAPS, which will be distributed in different regions throughout Georgia. In addition, we have received about 400 hospital beds, which will be located mainly in state clinics: in Rukhi, Tbilisi and Batumi Republican Hospital.
We also inspected ongoing renovation works at the Republican Hospital, which is being completed. I want to thank the World Bank, which has made a significant contribution in assisting Georgia, "said Ekaterine Tikaradze.
