Chisinau, 6 February /MOLDPRES/- Just two months after the launch of the New Life government program, over 5,500 families across the country received the set of newborn items. The project is implemented in both state and private maternity hospitals and covers part of the expenses of young families in childbirth, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.

“It is a project that supports the Moldovan families. We have managed to increase the childbirth allowance to 5,300 lei. Given this project, another 2,000 lei is added - the cost of a box. Thus, the allowance reaches 7,300 lei," Prime Minister Pavel Filip said.

The set is offered to parents who are citizens of Moldova and to foreigners staying in the country.

The government program New Life was launched on 1 December 2018. In 2017, over 34,000 children were born in Moldova.
