A group of doctors is holding a protest rally near Tbilisi Republican Hospital, expressing their objection to the Ministry of Health’s decision on compensation and conveying their lack of confidence in the agency.

“Our primary request is to maintain the continuous operation of the collective at the Republican Hospital. These individuals have been working together for many years, combining with the energy of younger generations. This synergy is crucial for the development of medicine. Compensation might be offered in a way that prompts a person to abandon their profession entirely, but that is not what we are talking about. We aim to preserve an essential aspect of Georgian medicine, ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to receive proper education,” stated doctor Levan Gofodze.

The Ministry of IDPs, Labor, Health, and Social Protection officially initiated the compensation process for Tbilisi Republican Hospital employees. The hospital staff is required to decide on the offers within 14 days, after which relevant legal procedures will commence.
