Amiran Gamkrelidze: I personally could not think that despite everything, the health care system would withstand so many cases

I personally could not think that despite everything, the health care system would withstand so many cases, - said Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the National Center for Disease Control.

According to him, there are shortcomings in the healthcare system, but doctors are handling the situation heroically.

"There are shortcomings, you can criticize us. There are shortcomings in everything, but the system is handling it. Our hero doctors are withstanding it. They really deserve appreciation. The Georgian medical society is one of the most distinguished societies and they have played the most important role in the life of their country. Whether it was April 9, the war in Abkhazia, the conflict in Samachablo, the war in August ... Today, every Georgian doctor, every medical worker deserves only thanks. Today more than 8000 medical personnel are infected, of course, most of them have returned to their jobs, recovered, but you know some of them died. I take a bow before them. It's hard to do all this. I emphasize that the system is better prepared, but we are not perfect, everything is relative. The healthcare system had many difficulties, the French healthcare system also had difficulties, you know that", - Gamkrelidze said.
