Dear Dr. Gabunia,

Many thanks from all of us here for joining the panel discussion on health financing in times of monetary policy and fiscal responses to the COVID-19 crisis.  There was huge interest in the session and we received a lot of positive feedback
from participants.  Thank you so much for sharing insights from Georgia.  Your points on making the necessary investments to rectify critical system shortcomings laid bare during the pandemic set the stage for important future discussions.  Of course, we only
scratched the surface and the situation continues to rapidly evolve.  Hence, we hope to involve you also in future events.  Meanwhile, we would be grateful if we could follow up with you on a couple of important points you touched upon, specifically on the
payments to hospitals.  We will be in touch shortly.

Again, many thanks.

With very best wishes from DC,

Christoph
