Where to Get Treated with Phage Therapy?

If you're looking where to undergo phage therapy, Georgia will be the first destination that comes to mind! Indeed, Georgia has been practicing phage therapy since 1923, accumulating 100 years of experience. French researcher Félix d'Hérelle, who discovered phage therapy, went to Tbilisi in Georgia in 1920. He established the world institute of phage therapy there. Europe and North America stopped using phage therapy with the onset of World War II and the advent of antibiotics.

However, Georgia never stopped practicing it. Even when the West banned phage therapy around 1980, Georgia continued its practice. Today, Georgia stands as the country with the most extensive experience in the field. Its doctors have the best training. The Georgian phage bank is one of the largest in the world: according to the Eliava Institute, it holds more than 1,000 active phages and more than 12,000 reference bacterial strains.

In Georgia, you'll find a phage therapy specialist for each type of pathology. Urologists, pulmonologists, surgeons, ENT specialists, dentists, dermatologists, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, and others who can treat you with phages. However, you need to visit the right place according to your pathology: a clinic for osteitis, a specialized dentist for dental infections and gingivitis, and the Eliava Institute for other types of infections (Pulmonary, urinary, dermatological, etc.).
