Thanks to its efforts, more people can receive life-saving screenings, helping to detect cancer at an early stage. “In 2023 for example, not a single day passed without treating at least 10 patientsfor mammography alone,” says Irinia Pochkua, the clinical director of the centre.

How the European Union supports Georgia in implementing reforms in food safety

According to official data, approximately 40,000 cases of human food poisoning or disease are registered annually in Georgia. However, the actual numbers are much higher. Food may contain various chemical substances due to consumption, which a person may not be poisoned at once, but in case of systematic intake, they may develop some severe disease. Ensuring food safety is based on the “from farm to fork” principle, in which each chain, starting from the producer and ending with the consumer, has its share of responsibility. The National Food Agency is the main controlling body that detects violations and, if necessary, suspends the business operator's activities.
