Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Natia Turnava visited Dr. Goods, an enterprise producing medical coats and overalls. The Minister got acquainted with the production process of the operating team, surgical coats and overalls on the spot.
According to Turnava, the enterprise started functioning a few months ago with the help of the state and it is a great thing that the number of their employees has increased from 5 to 70.
“Today we are in a Georgian enterprise that produces various medical devices, medical-surgical coats, medical overalls.”
According to the Minister, the government of Georgia is standing by the side of the enterprise, which has been operating for six months and has started working with five people, but today more than 70 people are employed. The most important thing is that the enterprise follows all the rules of safety and helps other businesses to equip themselves with the necessary products for safe work.
The company Dr. Good was established in September 2019 with the contribution of Startup Georgia and the Partnership Fund. A few weeks ago, with the help of the program Produce in Georgia, it received a loan to expand production from the TBC bank.
Due to the increased demand, the company purchased an additional 32 sewing machines, which invested up to 60,000 GEL. The enterprise produces up to 10 thousand coats and up to 2 thousand medical overalls per day.
