Within the framework of this high official meeting, a presentation of another new project of the Caritas Czech Republic "Support to Primary Health Care strengthening" was held.
This project is a continuation and scale-up of the project implemented during 2017-2019. Caritas Czech Republic assisted the Ministry in assessing and improving the quality of primary health care services. To this end, the quality measurement electronic tools were developed and introduced at five pilot PHC facilities in Tbilisi.
From 2020, the Czech Republic’s Caritas will launch the second phase of support for primary health care reform, which will lead to even larger-scale changes in the primary health care sector. In particular, quality management tools will be introduced for primary healthcare and a unified, comprehensive standardized electronic information system will be created to help professionals working in the field of primary health care to work with uniform high-quality standards.
The project will upgrade the qualification standards and requirements for primary care staff and will establish a system of continuing medical education.
”Now we are entering a new phase of strengthening the primary health care sector, which has very long- term goals and envisages the introduction of electronic information technologies in primary health care, as well as strengthening the skills of primary health care providers. Caritas Czech Republic supports the Ministry in implementation of these goals,” mentioned first deputy minister Tamar Gabunia.
This is a three-year project and funded by the Czech Development Agency.
