## Health Care Law in Georgia — a Systemic Overview

The Georgian Law on Health Care is a systemic act regulating the relations between state authorities and natural and legal persons in the sphere of protecting citizens' health. This page brings together five pillar provisions of the law into a single picture: the law's subject, the principles of state policy, the governing body of the system, the mechanisms of state funding — including the voucher — and the status of a medical facility. Such an overview is especially useful when a particular issue — licensing, patients' rights, funding — needs to be understood in its systemic context.

Every conclusion below rests directly on the text of the law: no figure or requirement has been added beyond the law's content. Where the law entrusts details to another act — for example, the conditions of the voucher — this is stated as such.
