Avtandil Jorbenadze is a former Prime Minister (then the Minister of State) of Georgia.
Before entering politics, Jorbenadze worked as a doctor and a KBG officer; in this capacity, in 1992 he was called to take up the post of deputy minister of health.[citation needed] He left the cabinet briefly the following year, but soon rejoined it as health minister.[1] In 1999, he was given the responsibility for social security, and the next year that for labour.[2] When President Shevardnadze dismissed his cabinet, in the aftermath of a controversial storming of a television station by security agents,[3] Jorbenadze was appointed head of the cabinet in December 2001.[2]
