Today, UNFPA Moldova and the U.S. Government delivered 20 new ambulances with state-of-the-art medical equipment to the healthcare system of the Republic of Moldova. The partnership aims to ensure access to quality services for patients in critical conditions, especially in hard-to-reach areas and bordering regions with Ukraine.

The fleet of ambulances transferred to the emergency medical unit of the Ministry of Health of Moldova aims to bolster the national health system in the ongoing humanitarian crisis by providing high-quality medical assistance to both the local population and refugees from Ukraine.

“The delivery of the ambulances is a continuation of investment in the national reproductive health system of the Republic of Moldova. The new ambulances will enhance medical staff mobility and provide critical medical assistance to people in need of urgent medical assistance. A significant number of emergency requests relate to urgent obstetrical and gynecological needs, highlighting the critical need for improving access to lifesaving reproductive health services,” said Nigina Abaszada, UNFPA Moldova Resident Representative.

“The United States is proud to partner with Moldova and UNFPA to support refugees and help the people of Moldova build a democratic, prosperous, and secure future,” said H.E. Kent D. Logsdon, the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Moldova.

The ambulances will be assigned to the following locations: Olănești, Volintiri, Copanca, Tocuz, Valea Perjei, Tvardița, Copceac, Cișmichioi, Cotiujenii Mari, Călărăseuca, Sudarca, Vadul lui Vodă, Molovata, Pripiceni-Răzeși, Vărăncau, Călinești, Costești, Larga, and Slobozia Mare.
