Romania will provide five ambulances to the SMURD Service that will be opened in Balti. The announcement was made by Romanian Ambassador in Moldova Marius Lazurca in a meeting with Minister of Health Andrei Usatyi, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué of the Ministry of Health.

Andrei Usatyi said they are now implementing a public-private partnership project to equip the radiotherapy center for oncologic diseases and invited bidders from Romania to take part in the project.

The minister asked the Romanian authorities to institute a special border crossing regime for the radioactive preparations needed to diagnose SPECT-CT, in nuclear medicine. These substances are produced according to a sophisticated technology in Romania’s Iasi and must be used during 6 – 7 hours.

The sides exchanged opinions on the necessity of eliminating barriers and intensifying experience exchange between doctors from both countries. The Romanian diplomat made reference to a recent study that reveals the necessity of this practice, saying many Moldovan doctors work successfully in Romania.
