Translate and adapt
English master edition. Georgian and other translations are added as they are clinically reviewed. Any facility may translate, add its logo and adapt wording to local practice — keeping the ASF block, the source attribution and the licence line on the sheet. Clinical thresholds and drug doses must be confirmed against national protocols before use.
