“The waiting time for interventions is cut in half, thanks to the new equipment and open operating rooms. This also influences the quality of treatment. Feicare represents a mother, a sister, and a grandmother and there is a history behind her. Already more than 370 women from Ukraine have received help at this Institute. This gives women and families new chances and new perspectives”, declares Nigina Abaszada, UNFPA Moldova Resident Representative.
The donated medical equipment is adapted to the needs of girls and women with disabilities, which will increase the degree of inclusion and access to medical services for categories of people with a higher degree of vulnerability.
The Oncological Institute is one of the medical institutions in the country that are equipped by UNFPA and the US Government with medical equipment in the field of sexual and reproductive health. Thus, during the months of October-November, aid in the amount of 3.6 million US dollars was granted for the entire medical system in the Republic of Moldova.
