Zusammenfassung
Since the beginning of the 90s, healthcare reform began in Georgia. The goal of the reform was to move from the Soviet centralized planning model of healthcare (referred to as the “Semashko System” after the first Soviet Commissar of Public Health, Nikolai Semashko) to a „modern“ neoliberal system. Cost optimization and improvements in infrastructure and healthcare quality were supposed to occur through privatization, transition to market principles, competition, and bed reduction. The state was supposed to retain the function of defining policy and regulating the entire health sector.
