MEDICAL SERVICE OF REMAINED AND DISPLACED POPULATION IN KSANI GORGE

Abstract

According to the ethnographical material and data gotten from the medical establishment, the number of psycho-neurological diseases: such as neurosis and depression has greatly increased among the displaced population. The first years displaced population was taken good care. A lot of programs have worked but now the situation has greatly changed. Only single shares have been held. The brigades of different doctors arrive in compactly populated by internal displaced people places. They examine and treat the sick people. However, medicines are the greatest problem for the population and accordingly for medical establishments. As they say during the first years of displacing, the policlinic had first aid medicines and they were free of charge for patients. But today the situation is different. Internally displaced people have general health insurance like all citizens of Georgia. Regional policlinic and a hospital take care of the population remained in Akhalgori. By 2011 the hospital was repaired but still it is impossible to get a good medical care. That’s why all severe and chronic disease patients are taken to Tbilisi or Mtskheta. They are taken to the Georgian checkpoint by Akhalgori ambulance, then by Tserovani ambulance patients are taken either to Tbilisi or Mtskheta. All the residents of the occupied territory have got general health insurance. According to official data great part of population from Tskhinvali arrive in Tbilisi for treatment. It should support the trust between Georgians and Ossetians. It should be mentioned that population express its gratitude towards both Georgian and Ossetian doctors.
