Roentgen devices reported by institutions at the time of evaluation, 65% (34 devices) have a wear
rate of 75 to 100%, indicating a risk of injury to patients and staff working with these devices;
- The degree of endowment of the Emergency Response Units (ERU)
type III and
Resuscitation and Intensive Care (RIC) of the institutions with ERU type III at national level
constitutes on average 67%, which does not correspond to the approved norms. About a third of the
hospital institutions report a shortage of necessary equipment, mandatory according to the ERU
endowment standard. Thus, the low quality of medical services can generate problems regarding the
impossibility of establishing the optimal and timely treatment, which can subsequently have a
negative effect on the patient's health, and can favor the evolution of diseases;
- There is an insufficient number of equipment needed in emergencies for life. Most
institutions (80%) reported an insufficient number of monitors to monitor vital parameters.
The identified problems allowed us to formulate a series of recommendations that could
improve the state of affairs in the field of medical device management to respect the patient's right
to safety and the quality of the medical care.
On October 11, the People's Advocate Office presented another Report, which is a complex
assessment of the real situation, following the signing of the World Health Assembly Resolution.
We refer to the strengthening of palliative care, as a component of integrated lifelong treatments.
The Report on the implementation by the Republic of Moldova of the Resolution on
strengthening the palliative care, as a component of integrated lifelong treatments was prepared
with the financial support of the Public Health Department of the Soros Foundation-Moldova.
The study identified a high risk of human rights violations, due to limited access and
insufficient palliative care services at all levels of care. The report shows that palliative care in the
Republic of Moldova is insufficient and fragmentedly developed, patients in need of palliative care
have limited access to palliative care services.
The study also comes with the following conclusions:
- there are barriers in the management of patients pain palliatively, especially at the level of
primary care;
- opioid drugs are provided without proper planning based on real needs;
- fragmentary approach in providing palliative care due to the lack of strategic planning for
organizing and financing palliative care services;
