The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has donated 1,800 manual blood pressure monitors to the National Centre for Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Care (CNAMUP) in the Republic of Moldova, reinforcing the country’s emergency healthcare system and improving patient care nationwide.
Valued at MDL 356,000, the donation will equip pre-hospital emergency medical teams across Moldova with essential tools for monitoring patients in critical situations, including obstetric and neonatal emergencies. The initiative is aimed at enhancing the capacity of medical teams to provide timely, safe, and effective healthcare services.
The support forms part of UNFPA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Moldova’s healthcare system amid increased demands resulting from the humanitarian impact of the war in Ukraine. Since 2022, Moldova has hosted large numbers of refugees, with international partners working alongside national authorities to support healthcare and social services.
The latest donation complements a broader UNFPA assistance programme that has included specialized ambulances for transporting critically ill newborns, pregnant women, and postpartum patients, as well as the provision of medical equipment and professional training for emergency healthcare personnel.
According to UNFPA, the new equipment will help improve patient monitoring and enable faster, more effective emergency interventions. The initiative is expected to benefit vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, newborns, refugees, and other individuals requiring urgent medical assistance.
The partnership between UNFPA and CNAMUP reflects a shared commitment to strengthening healthcare resilience, improving service quality, and ensuring access to lifesaving medical care across Moldova. Through continued collaboration with the Ministry of Health and national healthcare institutions, UNFPA aims to support a stronger and more responsive healthcare system for all citizens.
