Moldova Health & Care Policy: Moldova passed a bill to support families caring for children with disabilities, providing 3,000 lei per eligible child each year (13,582 children expected to benefit), aiming to cover extra care, treatment, rehabilitation, and social inclusion costs. Pharma Access: Moldova’s draft law on virtual pharmacies moved forward, setting rules for licensed online medicine sales and delivery, with health-authority monitoring to reduce counterfeit risks and improve access for low-mobility and rural patients. Public Health Outcomes: New statistics show Moldova’s mortality rate fell again in 2025, down 4.4% year-on-year, with cerebrovascular diseases still the top cause of death. Regional Health & Services: Moldova is also pushing EU-backed upgrades, including plans to renovate 10 hospitals in Chișinău and Bălți with EU support, while broader reforms to local administration are framed as a way to make social services and waste management more efficient. Security Spillover (Health Impact): A Russian drone strike hit a residential apartment building in Romania’s Galați, injuring two people and triggering emergency response—an incident Moldova leaders cited as a reminder that regional risks are close to home.
