"It would be impossible without the remarkable cooperation, indeed. Support of Tbilisi Medical University, Georgian Business, U.S.A, and Emory University gave us the result we have today. This is the rehabilitation center and I was told today, that it will be fully oriented on people with disabilities and the goal greater than this does not exist.

This is what we aim for, both state and every citizen. Of course, we must do everything for the center to be successful and along with this, it will serve our citizens, children, adults, and this will have regional and international importance.", said Giorgi Gakharia.
