Dear Mirela

Many thanks for your e-mail and follow up on this important task. Dr. Zaza Bokhua has recently left his post at the ministry and moved to Tbilisi State Medical University to pursue his academic carrier. I will be taking coordinating role on behalf of the ministry on SoHO related activities. I’ve familiarized myself with the inception report and would be happy to facilitate follow up activities. I also had a chance to review CVs of local consultants. As an immediate first action, I think it is important to finalize recruitment and bring them on board. Below you can find my feedback on the proposed candidates:

- expert for RIA – Vakhtang Chkheidze (Acceptable)

- expert in intensive care medicine - Sofio Beridze  (I would suggest to circulate the job announcement among the group of Georgian ICU specialists and consider more candidates)

- expert in nomotechnic - Achi Zangurashvili (Acceptable, the ministry highly recommends this candidate based on his prior successful engagement with TB and tobacco control legislation)

- key senior expert /medical doctor - Marina Darakhvelidze – instead of Dr. Darakhvelidze we recommend to consider engagement of Ms. Natia Nogaideli as a key senior expert. Natia has left the ministry in January however, given her extensive engagement in this work in the past, It would be helpful to bring her back in a new role.

Once we have the team of local specialists selected we could move ahead with the technical work.

I look forward to hearing from you.
