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.
