  • IMG 0654 GEORGIA. Tskhneti. 2007. The wife of the sick man is crying. Free health care extends only to diagnosis and visits to the area polyclinic for the poorest refugees and children, 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.

  • IMG 3561 GEORGIA. Jvari. 2007. In certain collective centers workshops have been set up, thus providing work for the refugees living in the area. In 1999 the government inaugurated the “New Approach” policy with the aim of creating conditions for the communities to become self-sufficient, via financial aid for setting up small economic activities, agriculture and livestock rearing.  Unfortunately, the economic development of these communities has ground to a halt because of a lack of funds and infrastructures.
