The population living in Khada valley does not have access to such services as medical services, pharmacy, etc., due to the lack of roads and heavy snowfall in winter. Accordingly, similar activities are important in order to provide additional benefits to the population within the framework of the project.” – said Salome Tsurtsumia Deputy Chairman of the Roads Department of Georgia.
