Moldovan PM visits perinatology section of Balti-based Clinical Hospital

Chisinau, 6 July /MOLDPRES/ - A new perinatology section, renovated with the support of the Health Ministry, has been opened at the Balti-based Clinical Hospital. The section is endowed according to the international standards and provides quality medical assistance to women from Balti, Sangerei, Rascani, Glodeni, Falesti and other settlements. In case of complicated firths, the section receives all women from north Moldova, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.      

The section has a capacity of 50 beds and includes four birthing rooms, three operation rooms, a room of intensive therapy and reanimation of women lately confined. Almost 16.5 million lei was allocated from the state budget for the renovation works.   

Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita visited the new section and referred to the government’s actions aimed at developing the medical system and providing the medical institutions with the last generation equipment, in order to provide citizens with services of the highest quality.   

„We will continue making endowments. As state candidate for accession to the European Union, Moldova must provide its citizens with modern medical services, of European level. We analyze also the policy of increase in salaries. We also made optimizations in the social insurances fund budget – therefore, we can afford buying certain equipment and we were able to renovate this perinatology section. I am happy that, in the last 24 hours, ten children were born here and 170 babies have been born since the centre was opened. The future mothers deserve having modern conditions of qualified medical staff,’’ Natalia Gavrilita said.      

According to the PM, the policy of hospitals’ modernization will continue. In the last year, the Balti Clinical Hospital received on behalf of the government devices for the diagnosis and treatment of patients, as well as intensive therapy beds. Also, recently, with the support of the World Bank, a modern digital mammographer was purchased, as well as an oxygen generator and the acquisition of a new tomograph is planned for the long run.
