Improving Pandemic Preparedness and Response by Strengthening Human Resources, Enhancing Surveillance, and Advancing Lab Systems


Background

Moldova’s 2018 Joint External Evaluation found significant vulnerabilities in its pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) capabilities. Then, as in so many nations, the COVID-19 pandemic placed an enormous strain on the health system and the economy. The health system has been further strained by the war in Ukraine as Moldova hosts one of the highest numbers of Ukrainian refugees per capita of any country in the European Union (EU).
