Dear Dr. Kete Goginashvili and Dr. Marina Darakhvelidze:

We hope your travels last week went well.

We want to thank you for taking the time to meet with us a couple of weeks ago and to provide more information on health care and health policy in Georgia.

We promised to email you both to request some additional information regarding the Ministry’s structure and health expenditures. Would it be possible to obtain the following:

MOH organogram

NHA (2001-2017) in excel format

Health expenditure data in excel format

Total health expenditures;

Proportion of health spending relative to GDP;

Proportion of health spending relative to total government expenditures;

Breakdown of health expenditures by public, private relative to total health expenditure;

Health spending per capita;

Health expenditures by level of care;

Health expenditures by program (if available – I remember that there was a mention that they have been using program-based budgeting, hence this request).

It would be great if we could get the health expenditure data at
the regional and national levels for our review. We are also unsure how far back you have this data, but would appreciate this data as of 1990, if available.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,

Fatima
