Global Health

Georgia has made important achievements in health service delivery and health sector reform. Through USAID assistance, the country is currently on-track to meet several of the U.S. government’s Global Health Initiative goals, including a substantial and steady decline in infant and child mortality rates. Several important challenges remain, and USAID’s programs in the health sector continue to help Georgia improve maternal and child health, stop the spread of infectious diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, and improve health service delivery through healthcare sector reforms.

Current programs:
