An unusual approach: The second stage of the Sports medicine and diagnostics program in Tbilisi

Tbilisi City Hall is moving forward again, starting the second stage of an innovative sports medicine and diagnostics program. The first stage, launched in autumn 2023, has already attracted the attention of more than 500 participants from integrated sports centers.

This time, more than 400 beneficiaries between the ages of 3 and 18 will have the opportunity to undergo a free comprehensive medical check. After that, they will be given recommendations on the expediency of playing sports and further monitoring their health, according to the press service of the metropolitan municipality.

The Tbilisi City Hall and the Georgian Sports Medicine Association have teamed up again to implement the program in three sports centers controlled by the city administration. This innovative initiative is being implemented with the active support of the Georgian Sports Medicine Association, the Academy of Sports Medicine and Science, as well as the Joan University Clinic.

The Georgian Sports Medicine Association has signed memoranda with three key sports centers in the city, including the Gymnastics Development Center, the figure skating center and the youth center.

The uniqueness of the program lies not only in the scale and duration of the medical check, but also in the fact that it is implemented in accordance with international protocols. The first stage, held in the fall of 2023, made it possible to assess the health status of more than 500 participants in the complex sports centers of Gldani-Nadzladevsky district.

This approach underscores Tbilisi's willingness to improve health care programs for citizens, including the youngest members of society, and to continue innovative steps in the field of sports medicine and diagnostics.
