Dear Tamar,

Could you please have a look at the correspondence below and let me know whether you agree with the suggested candidates, or you’d prefer to nominate other persons?

I guess they were involved in the latest child obesity survey in Georgia.

Thank you and best regards,

Silviu

WHO European Region.

The aim is to raise awareness among and support the participants to fully understand the health, social, psychological and economic impacts of childhood obesity. The training course will aim to share knowledge
and international experiences to improve and reinforce current organization structure and practices for preventive interventions and medical approaches for treatment.

This  training course which focus on childhood obesity in Eastern Europe countries will be held on 18-20 March 2020 in Albena, Bulgaria. The working language will be English and Russian, and simultaneous interpretation
will be provided.

Based on the previous interactions we would like to propose the following experts from Georgia to join the training course:

Lela Sturua from the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health of Georgia

Nino Kheladze from the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health of Georgia

If you agree with these proposals we would make arrangements to confirm their participation or otherwise please suggest two experts to attend this training course and let us know whether an nomination request
letter is needed although we would like to keep the meeting at expert levels hence we have identified these 2 experts as potential temporary advisers.
