''A new minister will replace me from the new year,'' former Georgian Health Minister Ekaterine Tikaradze said.
In Tikaradze's words, she will hand different projects over to the new minister, who she will always support by sharing her experience.
''The decision was not hasty. Starting from a new year, a new minister will take over my duties, and I can feel the decision will produce lots of positive outcomes. I will stand by the new minister and will help him or her by sharing my experience,'' Rikaradze stated.
Health Minister Tikaradze stepped down on Dec 9.
