The Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, Mikheil Chkhenkeli held a working meeting with the rectors of medical universities and heads of medical faculties and introduced them with the decision and action plan of the Interagency Council.

According to Mikheil Chkhenkeli, as decreed by the Interagency Coordination Council, senor medical students are to be trained in order to create a reserve of medical staff. After conducting a swift training and passing the course, if necessary, the senior students will help the medical field to combat and manage the virus.

Mikheil Chkhenkeli noted that in order to effectively manage the process, a working group will be set up, which, according to the pandemic situation, will coordinate the training of senior students and, if necessary, involve them in the medical process. Accordingly, a base of senior medical students will be created, who will undergo a rapid training course.
