DFC CEO Scott Nathan said: “DFC’s new technical assistance partnership with the American Hospital Tbilisi builds upon our strong, existing partnership and will benefit Ukrainians in need.
“DFC is committed to supporting our partners throughout Eastern Europe through smart investments like this partnership, especially in the wake of Russia’s unprovoked war in Ukraine.”
As part of the surgical and non-surgical assistance programme, American Hospital Tbilisi will provide medical services to Ukrainians affected by the war in Russia and for those who are currently in Georgia.
Ukrainians travelling to Georgia for medical treatment due to lack of medical services and supplies in Ukraine will also receive medical services.
American Hospital Tbilisi chairman Gregory Kuntz said: “With DFC’s support, we are expanding the Hospital’s services to reach Ukrainians who are unable to access other healthcare after fleeing the Russian war in their country.
“We look forward to continuing to expand our healthcare services and provide high quality care and set a new landmark on the map of Georgian medical services.”
