Publication: Using HiTs to Assess Health Care Systems and Reforms in Georgia (Oxford Policy Management, 13 Aug 2010)

The assessment of the Georgia health care system was commissioned by the European Observatory for Health Systems and Policies (EOHSP) in 2007. The publication ‘Health Systems in Transition (HiT) Georgia’ was finalised in 2009 and published in April 2010.

The HiT methodology and template has been used to assess key features of the Georgian health care system and recent reforms. The assessment highlighted recent positive changes undertaken in the health sector, including the elaboration of hospital and primary health care (PHC) master plans, acceleration of public financing for health services, and greater targeting of public allocations to the health care needs of the poor.
