Dental services for people with limited hearing

At one of the meetings, Kutaisi Club of Women-Voters members of the club took the initiative to provide persons with limited hearing with dental services based on the principle of co-financing.

Shortly after the meeting, advocacy group started to work on the implementation of that idea. At the first stage, the members of the club wrote the project - "A beautiful smile of people with limited hearing".

According to the project they studied the situation and created a database for this category of beneficiaries. Talks were held in parallel with one of the dental clinics of the city, which was willing to pay 20% of the total sum of service. After that, members of advocacy groups met with representatives of the local government. The presented project was submitted to the City Council and funded in the amount of 5000 GEL.

The project is already running. According to the budget 50% of the total sum of service is paid by the local government, 20% by the dental clinic, and 30% by beneficiaries.

A special TV plot was prepared and transmitted on the TV company "Rioni".

The clinic works hard and most of the beneficiaries have already used the services of a dentist.

Advocacy group plans to work on the integration of this category of society in the future.

 

The project is implemented with the support of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy, USA.
