Forty-five vice directors on mother and child healthcare of the Family Doctors Centers in all the districts of the country, the municipalities of Chisinau and Balti and in the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia attended a national training seminar and received instructive materials on how to prevent home accidents involving children younger than five, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting a communique from the organizers. The seminar was organized as part of the national communication campaign “A House Without Dangers for Your Child!”that was carried out by the Ministry of Health as part of the Moldovan-Swiss project “Regionalization of the Pediatric Emergency and Intensive Care Services in Moldova” (REPEMOL), with support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. According to the manager of the project Aurora Dragomiristeanu, the vice directors on mother and child healthcare during February-March will distribute the new instructive materials and information on how to prevent accidents involving children younger than five during local training seminars with family doctors, pediatricians and nurses.
