Georgia’s rehabilitation-workforce review clarifies priorities for service, skills and technology partners

Verified facts

• WHO’s rehabilitation-workforce evaluation reports a national assessment across five professions using desk review, stakeholder consultations and consensus-based methods. It identifies priorities around availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality. An evaluation identifies system issues; it does not select a provider, validate a service, establish a workforce supply agreement or create a procurement opportunity.
• The evaluation reports progress in education programmes and policy frameworks while identifying continuing gaps in workforce supply, regulation, service integration and public awareness. These gaps are due-diligence questions for a named service, training or technology proposition; not proof of customer demand, funding, need at an individual institution or a right to operate.
• WHO’s Georgia UHC material describes work on primary care, health financing, workforce development, access to medicines and digital-health systems. Country cooperation and technical assistance do not determine a particular institution’s budget, reimbursement, governance, procurement, clinical pathway or data-access decision.
• WHO’s 2025–2026 telemedicine reporting illustrates that workforce capability, equipment, governance, legal/regulatory arrangements, clinical guidance, payment considerations and information-system readiness must be addressed together. A national or donor-supported programme does not make an external clinical, training or digital product authorised, clinically appropriate or commercially contracted.
