E-DRUG: Estimation population as potential clients in FSU: Georgia

Hello,

For an estimation of potential clientele coming to health facilties
in the Autonomous Region of Achara, Georgia, we would like to get
assistance with regards to region specific average annual health facility
visits.

Globally, it is common to use an average of 4-6 visits per person per year
to estimate lower and higher attendance. However in the FSU where health
seeking behaviour was and continues to be much higher then in other parts
of the world, these figures may be different.

We need these figures as we are trying to estimate possible attendance
rates and subsequent drug consumption for a group of people (25% of
approx. 465,000) that is able to pay for consultation, wherafter they get
free drugs prescribed.

Your assistance in this is much appreciated.
