Previously, the Municipal Social Service covered the expenses of cancer medicines by 50-80 per cent if a patient lacked the status of a socially vulnerable person.

“In the case of early-stage breast cancer, Tbilisi City Hall finances one patient with at least GEL 21,600 and a maximum of GEL 61,150 per year; in case of metastatic form, it allocates at least GEL 40,500 and a maximum of GEL 65,340,” Kaladze said.
