Human Rights Center (HRC) has been implementing the project "Mitigation of Pandemic Outcomes for Single Elderly People in Shida Kartli" since January 20, 2021. Within the framework of the project, volunteers interviewed more than 100 lonely / living alone elderly people in all four municipalities (Gori, Khashuri, Kareli, Kaspi). According to the statements by vast majority of the elderly, they do not benefit from the State Program for the provision of medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases, even though the program envisages provision of medicines for chronic cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes (type II), thyroid disease, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
