Public Defender Sets up Group of Doctors in Mzia Amaglobeli Case
On February 6, 2025, the Public Defender of Georgia created a group of doctors to assess the adequacy and timeliness of medical services provided to Mzia Amaglobeli by the Penitentiary Service (including the contractor clinic(s).
The group is made up of the candidates nominated by Mzia Amaglobeli’s representatives, in consultation with them and taking into account Mzia Amaglobeli’s health problems, with the following composition:
- Elene Giorgadze - endocrinology, nutrition, pediatric endocrinology, public health and healthcare organization
- Giorgi Gvilia - gastroenterology, cardiology, internal diseases
- Giorgi Javrishvili - ophthalmology
- Aleksandre Tsiskaridze - neurology
The doctors will visit Mzia Amaglobeli in the near future and study her medical documentation. The group of doctors will prepare a conclusion and recommendations, which they will present to the Public Defender. Based on the conclusion, the Public Defender and the Public Defender’s Office will take further legal steps. We will provide information to the public within the framework of the protection of special categories of personal data.
We would like to emphasize once again that the mandate of the Public Defender is not to participate in the treatment of prisoners and specialists invited by the Public Defender will not have this authority either.
