GHG signs a partnership agreement with the Association of
Leading
Israeli Medical Professors
Georgia Healthcare Group PLC ("GHG" or the "Group") announces
that its Hospitals business has signed a partnership agreement with
the Association of Leading Israeli Medical Professors ("ALIMP"),
under which the association member professors will provide their
service at GHG's healthcare facilities, for Georgian as well as for
international patients. GHG healthcare facilities will be the only
hospitals from post-soviet countries with whom the ALIMP can
partner for the next eight years.
Members of the association, a group of internationally
recognised Israeli doctors, are specialists in different medical
fields including cardiac surgery, orthopaedic surgery, thoracic
surgery, bariatric surgery, urology and gynaecology. The
partnership is a unique opportunity for both local and
international patients to receive the highest quality of treatment
at an affordable price. The members of ALIMP will also be engaged
in training and upskilling our medical professionals and resident
doctors, giving them the possibility to incorporate the latest
scientific approaches in medicine at GHG hospitals.
"I am very pleased that GHG's Hospitals business has started
another successful project, that will significantly contribute
towards its newly declared strategy to develop medical tourism in
the country. After the renovation works carried out at our
hospitals over the past few years, and particularly after opening
our flagship Regional Hospital, we are now ready to serve our
patients with the best possible healthcare infrastructure. This,
combined with the best-in-class human capital recognised
internationally, will further enable us to provide Georgian
citizens with access to high-quality treatment without leaving the
country and to attract more international patients, ensuring
further expansion and growth. The knowledge and experience sharing
is a part of the partnership that we believe our medical staff will
strongly benefit from and contribute to their further development."
- commented Nikoloz Gamkrelidze, CEO of Georgia Healthcare
Group.
