ალეკო გამარჯობა,
გთხოვთ, ამ დოკუმენტთან მიმართებაში თქვენი ხედვა მომაწოდოთ. მოცემულ დოკუმენტში პირველი ფაზის დასრულება 30 ივლისისთვის იგეგმება, რაც დეცენტრალიზაციისთვის
დაგვიანებულია. პროგრამას ვერ დაველოდებით და ამდენად, საინტერესოა რა საჭიროებებს ან პრობლემებს ხედავთ იმაში, რომ დეცენტრალიზაციის საწყის ეტაპზე არსებული მოდელით გავაგრძელოთ მუშაობა.
პატივისცემით,
Maia Lagvilava, MD, MHA

Subject: IT Roadmap and next Steps
Dear Dr. Lagvilava,
We hope you are well. It was great to see Dr. Sergeenko, Dr. Amiran, and others from Georgia at EASL. The Georgia side meeting, and a special
session on HCV decentralization services (where Georgia was highlighted as one of the model countries) was well received at EASL.
After the successful workshops, including the IT workshop, in Tbilisi, there has been a lot of work to come up with a draft “roadmap” for IT systems development
for the support of HCV Elimination Program in Georgia (attached, below). The road map developed, we believe, is a very reasonable approach, and we fully support this endeavor; of course we defer to you/Ministry, and would like to know your thoughts, if agree,
and how best to move forward.
When we met in Tbilisi last month, we also agreed it was a good idea to have regular call that would include MoLHSA, NCDC, CDC; we should have our call soon,
and IT can be one of the topics for discussion, if you agree. Let us know and we can assist in organzing a call, perhaps within the next two weeks. Given the urgency of the work this year, with the focus on decentralization, it is important for us to touch
base soon.
Also, I was happy to hear that you met with Lika, Tatia, and Irina as well, thank you for meeting with them, and I hope you recognize that we are dedicated to
supporting the HCV Program in Georgia. I am also including Dr. Amiran, Dr. Beth the CDC Country Director, and Dr. Muazzam my Senior Medical Officer for Georgia at CDC/Atlanta.
Thank you, and we looking forward to hear your thoughts.
Best,
FA (Francisco)
