Georgian Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze stated the government would use the field hospital in case of emergency only.

 

Speaking with reporters, Tikaradze vowed Health Ministry would spare no effort to manage the infection in the healthcare sector and avoid surge hospitalization.

 

said field hospitals would be fully equipped, including up to 500 beds.

 

The Minister added that physicians in Georgia do not practice or are trained for on-field medical care. However, most of the practising doctors got their degrees while military training and on-field medicine were mandatory.

 

“On top of that, we have communication with the Red Cross, which has quite a good experience, and the patients will receive safe services,” she stressed.


The field hospital is being set up in one of the venues of Digomi Olympic Village in Tbilisi, Georgian First Channel learned from Health Ministry on Sunday.
