Children with an oncological diagnosis will be eligible for fully funded treatment in Israel, Spain, Turkey, and Georgia.

The relevant agreements were signed with partner clinics for the abroad treatment program, providing medical care for children and adolescents diagnosed with oncology under the age of 18.

The partner clinics for this program are Turkey’s “Anadolu Medical Center”, Spain’s “Quirónsalud Medical Center” and Israel’s “Ichilov Medical Center”.

“We have launched a historic project. The government guarantees that all children with oncologic diseases will be treated at the best overseas clinics. The budget of the state-funded project is GEL 30 million. Approximately 300 children will be sent overseas annually for diagnostics and medical treatment. I am very glad that the recovery likeliness is quite high, and I want to wish all children good health. If any engagement is required from our side, we are always ready”, - said Zurab Azarashvili, Georgian Minister of Health.

Applications for state funding for the treatment of children diagnosed with oncology in leading clinics abroad have been open since July 24. The decision to grant state funding for this treatment was taken at a government meeting, on July 10.
