Dear Marijan,

I think that it will be better to meet together.  We can reschedule meeting on 25 of May.  Mr. Talakvadze and Dr. Gamkrelidze and their team members will attend the meeting.  Do we need someone form other departments?

Dear Sopo,

Our initial idea was to meet first with the ministry and to have additional meeting with Prof Amiran and his team afterwards.

In case you think this could be done at once, the meeting can take place on Thursday, 24 May as indicated in your email.

In this case I will not be able to join, as I have to attend the UN Country Team meeting (24 May, 12.30 – 17.30 with possible prolongation). Even in my absence the team is competent enough to discuss planned activities as defined by the BCA.

Please, let us know your decision.

Thank you and best regards,

Dear Marijan,

Please be informed that Dr. Amiran Gamkrelidze will be out of country on 22nd and 23rd of May. So I will suggest appointing meeting on 24th of May after 12:00.

One I receive your confirmation, I will send you detailed information regarding the meeting (participants, time and venue).

Dear Ms Sopo, dear Mr Avtandil,

The WHO Country Office Georgia has now completed the team of emergency preparedness and response.

The team covers Caucasus countries (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan):

Mr. Kai von Harbou, Country Preparedness and IHR Officer

Ms. Tamila Zardiashvili, National Professional Officer

Ms. Tinatin Gigauri, Programme Assistant

We would be pleased if we could have a short introductory meeting with you to introduce the team and initiate operational discussions on technical assistance in the priority areas as indicated in your email as of 9 March (word document attached).

Preferably we would like to have the meeting on Wednesday, 23 May, in the morning (we have other obligations the same day at 14.00, so our meeting should finish by 13.00). If this is not possible, we could come for a meeting on Tuesday, 22 May, afternoon.

We would appreciate if you could confirm the meeting by indicating exact time of the meeting and the meeting room.

Ms. Nino Mamulashvili, National Professional Officer, will also join us at the meeting.

Thank you and best regards,

Marijan Ivanusa
