A medical premiere for Moldova at the “Gheorghe Paladi” Municipal Clinical Hospital, where a procedure of hemoadsorption was performed on a critically ill patient with a severe abdominal infection and peritonitis. The intervention uses a technology that filters the blood to reduce the body’s inflammatory response, reports IPN.

The patient was admitted to the Anesthesia and Intensive Care unit with an infection that could cause sepsis and multiple organ failure. After the case was evaluated by a multidisciplinary team, the doctors decided to include the hemoadsorption procedure in the complex treatment plan.

According to the hospital, the procedure involves passing the blood through a special filter, which removes some of the substances responsible for the body’s excessive inflammatory response. Thus, the therapy complements the usual treatment and can contribute to improving the condition of critically ill patients.

The representatives of the institution say that the use of the Purify system together with the CytoSorb filter is a first for the Republic of Moldova and expands the treatment possibilities for patients with sepsis, septic shock, and other severe inflammatory syndromes. According to them, the technology is used in medical centers in other countries and represents a step forward for the development of intensive therapy in the Republic of Moldova.

A new EcoVoucher session begins: 825 households will receive 6 thousand lei each

by Iana Josu 18.07.2026

A new session of the EcoVoucher Program, funded by the European Union, begins on Saturday, July 18 and will run until August 2. During this period, approximately 825 households in the Republic of Moldova will be able to receive vouchers worth 6 thousand lei for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances, reports IPN.

The National Center for Sustainable Energy mentions that vouchers can be used for the purchase of refrigerators and washing machines. The program aims to reduce energy consumption in homes and replace old appliances, which consume more electricity.

In this edition, households where minors, people over 63 years old, or people with severe disabilities live are eligible. The authorities specify that the measure aims to reduce energy costs and improve the living conditions of the beneficiaries.

Since the launch of the program, over 42,500 households have replaced their old appliances with more energy-efficient ones, benefiting from funding of up to 70% of the cost of a new device. According to data presented by CNED, the annual energy savings achieved by beneficiaries exceed 37 million lei, and over 300 tons of used refrigerators and washing machines have been collected for recycling within the program.

The EcoVoucher program is developed by the Government with the support of the EU and is implemented by CNED, within the project “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies for Moldova”. The project is implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Moldova and is funded by the German Government, with co-financing from the EU, Norway, and Denmark. The current session is funded by the EU.
