Chisinau, 7 April /MOLDPRES/ - President Igor Dodon said that the state must change its approach on the health system and informed about a new strategy of development of Moldova’s medical system.
After a today’s meeting of the Supreme Security Council (CSS), the head of state said that he understood the patients who presently criticize the bad conditions in hospitals. According to him, the present situation in the system is due to the heritage left by the governments in power in the last ten years and the reforms which had a noxious effect on this sector, such as the liquidation of district hospitals and the merger of some medical and sanitary institutions.
”We manage to cope even in such conditions, maybe better than some countries which are above Moldova in world rankings,’’ Dodon said.
The president asked the government to work out a new strategy of development of Moldova’s medical system, beginning from first-aid posts in villages and ending with the republican hospitals. ‘’We will reallocate also additional financial means for the medical sector in the long run. We must change the priorities and emphasis should be put on the health sector. We assure you that it will be one of the state’s priorities and on the CSS’ permanent agenda,’’ Dodon added.
