On June 6, United State Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Bridget Brink, along with local government officials and regional medical professionals, visited the United States’ Embassy supported Hellenicare Hippocrates clinic and Mobile Medical Units (MMU). The MMU distribute valuable medical equipment and supplies to rural ambulatories allowing rural clinic doctors to better treat their patients living in rural areas with more limited access to care.
The United State’s Department of State Humanitarian Assistance program’s Mobile Medical Units have visited more than 100 IDP villages, providing medical and humanitarian care to more than 10,000 people, including IDPS, refugees, and other victims of conflict and disaster. In FY12 in Georgia, the Humanitarian Assistance program helped secure $2.2 million in humanitarian assistance; $82.74 million worldwide since 1992.
