Subject: HCV Elimination Spring Workshop and Recommendations from the ECHO Institute
Dear Drs. Seergenko and Lagvilava,
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us during our recent trip to Tbilisi.
I have attached a brief trip report and a set of recommendations that came out of our meetings with you, the HCV clinicians who run ECHO hubs, the CDC and the NCDC.
We are very interested in working closely with you on the roll-out of the decentralization of HCV care and treatment in Georgia. We have many years of experience with decentralization of HCV care using the ECHO model and would like to help you in any way we can with development of your plan.
Please let us know what you think the best next step should be.
We look forward to collaborating with you,
