IMG 2698 GEORGIA. Zugdidi. 2007. Ophthalmic consultation in a polyclinic, 75 doctors offer unpaid work in these structures for visits, diagnoses and vaccinations. Health care is free for the poorest refugees and children in a series of polyclinics but only as regards diagnosis, visits and vaccinations, medicines have to be bought. For urgent cases entailing hospitalisation, the State covers 75% of the cost of operations and the patient must pay 25%, and here too these sums are beyond the economic means of the refugees, while 100% of health care costs have to be borne by the rest of the population.
