The European Union and UNDP, together with national partners and local medical personnel, inaugurated the renovated building of the Mejvriskhevi village outpatient clinic in Georgia’s Shida Kartli region. The clinic provides vital health services to over 6,000 people, including more than 1,000 children, residing in the villages adjacent to the administrative boundary line with Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia.

The comprehensive refurbishment project included the installation of plumbing, electrical and heating systems, as well the improvement of interior design. Furthermore, the space in the clinic was renovated to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities, promoting inclusivity and equitable healthcare. To further enhance the clinic's functionality, new furniture and medical equipment were also supplied.

On 21 June, representatives from the EU and UNDP paid a visit to Mejvriskhevi village, where they met with local authorities, communities, and stakeholders to assess the progress of ongoing healthcare initiatives and other support projects. The delegation included  Radica Nusdorfer and Kristi Raidma from the European Commission’s DG NEAR, and Anna Chernyshova, UNDP Deputy Resident Representative in Georgia. Accompanying them were Abiko Abesadze, Deputy State Representative in Shida Kartli Region; Tamaz Shioshvili, Deputy Gori Mayor; and representatives from Georgia’s Government Administration, Health Ministry, and the State Minister’s Office for Reconciliation and Civic Equality.
