We obtained almost no information on palliative care developments in Georgia. In 2000 the OSI Foundation for Georgia obtained one application for a palliative care development, but it was not successful. The foundation wishes to support projects which seek to initiate palliative care in the medical community and in the wider population. In 2001 it received a supportable application and together with OSI in New York awarded a grant to support a training programme for palliative care staff and to strengthen a resource centre, with a 'train the trainers' programme for 5 physicians, 10 nurses and 20 volunteers. The programme is led by Dr Dimitri Kordzaya, of the Humanists' Union, in the capital, Tibilsi.3
