Dear Volkan,

Thanks for the revert.

Good to know that now the costing work can be initiated.

We can have a call on Monday 11th May or 12th May at any time convenient to all to discuss about the different approaches to health care costing and the next steps.

Will wait for the call details.

Dear Navneet,

I hope this email finds you well!

We had a meeting with the MoH today to discuss our joint work including the costing study. Thankfully, COVID-19 work is slowing down for us and the colleagues in the Ministry, and now we can focus on other work.

If you are still available, we would like to set up a call to discuss the next steps with the costing study. The technical teams from the Ministry will join the call as well. During the call, if you can briefly talk about different approaches to the costing, it would be very helpful to decide which approach is more suitable for the case of Georgia.

Please let us know when it would be a  good time to set up this call sometime next week.

Best,

Volkan

Dear Nino

Hi, Hope all is well at your end. In India we under lockdown since Mar 23 due to COVID-19. Early lockdown in India has really helped India in containment of COVID-19. Now, most of the organisations in India have adopted work from Home.

We are also working offline.

Please send the details as requested so that we can also start working on the assignment.

Dear Volkan

We can have webex meeting to kickstart the process,

Dear Tamar

Thanks for the quick reply. We can have webex call on any day except on 13th March as per the availability of others.

We can have a detailed teleconference through webex to discuss about the methods/tools and data requirements and final outcome of the exercise so that the exercise ultimately takes into consideration the desired output for the policy makers.

Regards

Navneet.

Dear Navneet

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I fully understand the situation, it’s very difficult to plan international trips these days. Thanks for suggesting about starting work remotely. As a first step may I kindly ask you to arrange a teleconference to present costing methodology and tools used internationally. We can then continue with more specific tasks.

Dear Volkan & Tamar

Thanks a lot for the invitation.

In view of many cornovirus cases in India and in Delhi (City where I reside) also and other countries, it is advised by Indian Government to avoid International travel.

Moreover, I was suffering from viral fever for last 2 weeks and have just recovered from it.

In view of this, I request you to kindly pardon me for not being able to make it to Georgia as earlier planned. We will mutually decide my next visit date.

However, we can immediately start the work. Nino can send me the files so that I can review the same through webex call with him and  plan further steps

Sorry again, for not able to make it as already planned

Regards

Navneet

Dear Tamar,

We were hoping to join Navneet in Tbilisi, but unfortunately, we will not be able to join him this time.

He is available between March 25th and April 5th to visit Tbilisi to work with your team. If these dates are OK for your team working on costing exercise, we can arrange his travel immediately.

Best,

Volkan
