It was a hopeful meeting, we are positively inclined because the Prime Minister asked very necessary and meaningful questions. Zakro Gvishiani, the parent of a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, said this after the meeting with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at the Government Administration.

"The meeting lasted approximately two hours. We provided him with detailed information about the medications, about the ongoing processes, and about why it became necessary to hold a continuous protest outside the Government Administration. We are feeling positive because the Prime Minister asked genuinely necessary and substantive questions throughout. We exchanged information, and it’s clear that he is already showing a willingness to engage fully. We agreed that a working group will be created as a formal format for ongoing dialogue. We will meet again the day after tomorrow at the latest to go through the individual issues that could not be covered today.

We also made clear that our campaign is not politically driven. Our core demand is access to the medicines our children need.

The Prime Minister received everything he needed from our side. We went through all the key points, but a great many issues and core decisions remain, and those will be addressed at subsequent meetings. The working group will operate in a meeting format.

No decision could have been made at today’s meeting, but the process has begun. Every parent and organization welcomes the launch of this process. Communication is the only way to resolve this problem, and consequently, that communication has taken place. The working format will continue. I am confident that a decision beneficial to us will be reached in the near future", - said Zakro Gvishiani.
