Telemedicine and distance learning have a high priority in Georgia owing to the uneven distribution of health-care resources. Outside the country's capital, Tbilisi, resources and manpower are scarce, so telemedicine may be the best option for health-care delivery in spite of the costs. However, an adequate infrastructure must be in place to make this possible. The National Information Learning Centre (NILC) provides access to the Internet and MEDLINE and is currently assessing the best software for low-bandwidth distance learning and videoconferencing.
由于医疗保健资源分布不均，远程医疗和远程学习在格鲁吉亚受到高度重视。在该国首都第比利斯以外，资源和人力匮乏，因此尽管成本高昂，远程医疗可能是提供医疗保健服务的最佳选择。然而，必须具备适当的基础设施才能实现这一点。国家信息学习中心（NILC）提供互联网和医学在线数据库（MEDLINE）的访问，目前正在评估适用于低带宽远程学习和视频会议的最佳软件。
