1 2 3

During the online meeting of the Fund “Sukhumi”, when talking about problems in the community of the village Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality), women noted important problems – the doctors, who periodically consulted the residents of the village, now are not able to visit them.

After the meeting, advocacy for the problem began. A local majoritarian candidate and a representative of the Mayor in the village - Iruza Kakava joined the advocacy process.

As a result: medical staff visited the village, who, according to the recommendations, consulted the population. People got information where to call, whom to contact in case of having high temperature or in a doubtful situation.

At the meeting, it was repeatedly mentioned that the population is very worried about the families of relatives who are in Gali and live in difficult conditions.

Despite the emotional background regarding the pandemic, people try to maintain stability and take into account general recommendations.
