Current state of geriatric services in Georgia: education, policy gaps, and recommendations
Georgia urgently needs to integrate geriatrics into national health policy, strengthen workforce education, establish hospital and community geriatric services, and foster locally generated research. Learning from international models and aligning with frameworks such as the WHO Decade of Healthy Ageing can guide the development of a sustainable, patient-centered geriatric care system.
