The challenges and opportunities associated with phage therapy
7th January 2022

Dr Zemphira Alavidze, a medical microbiologist at Phage Therapy Center, explains the benefits and challenges associated with phage therapy.
Phage Therapy Center was founded in 2003 by a leading group of Georgian microbiologists and polymer scientists. Their goal was to establish a clinic that catered to foreign patients primarily to treat non-healing / chronic wounds. The clinic was acquired by Phage International, who funded a treatment facility in Tbilisi and expanded the scope of treatment to the most common chronic and drug-resistant infections.

Phage Therapy Center has treated around two thousand foreign patients, half of which have travelled to Georgia for treatment and half – where appropriate or there are no travel options – are treated remotely. The clinic has handled over 50,000 communications with patients seeking treatment for drug-resistant / chronic infections. Health Europa spoke to medical microbiologist at Phage Therapy Center, Dr Zemphira Alavidze, to find out more about phage therapy, its associated benefits and challenges.
