Dear Dr Guekht

Many thanks for introducing your work and advocating for strengthening epilepsy response internationally. The ministry admits the importance of the epilepsy as a public health concern and will note the report prepared by WHO on this issue. Although all neurological conditions are related to significant health and societal burden we think that the strong focus should remain on epilepsy to ensure well targeted and adequately planned response. Based on this consideration, we can only support the point (1) of the draft decision you’ve kindly shared yesterday.

პატივისცემით,

თამარ გაბუნია

მინისტრის პირველი მოადგილე

Sincerely,

Tamar Gabunia, MD, MPH

Dear Alla,

From your letter I understood that you met Tamar Gabunia, our deputy minister. This is great. She was who signed the support letter from Georgia. Thus, she must be aware on our issue.

Was she supportive?

Warm wishes

Natela
