Improving Health Care and Averting Deaths from Cardiovascular Disease in Georgia

With support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the USAID Health Care Improvement Project (HCI) is collaborating with the Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs (MoLHSA) of Georgia to improve quality of care for leading causes of adult and child mortality and morbidity, at ambulatory and hospital level, including prevention and treatment of heart attacks, chronic respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pediatric respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia). This short report describes how HCI is directly supporting the Government of Georgia’s strategic priority to improve quality of health care for a healthier and more prosperous Georgian population.
