About 45 percent of Moldovan migrant workers have laboured under unfavourable conditions for health, according to a sociological survey. At the same time, the survey Migration and Remittances in Moldova-2005 launched by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) shows that 49 percent of Moldovan workers have confirmed that they felt bad in the countries where they migrated, while 22 percent said that their health condition has worsened very much due to work conditions in the countries where they have worked. In this context, IOM/Moldova has launched a new project aimed to improve the health of migrants, financed by Soros-Moldova and the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Moldovan Ministry of Health and Social Protection jointly with international organisations in Moldova will take concrete actions against HIV and sexually transmissible infections and for health of migrants within 12 months, these being regarded as priority problems for public health in Moldova. The project calls for conduct of a study on the risk to get involved with HIV and other sexually transmissible diseases among migrants, actions to prevent the HIV/AIDS infection for Moldovan diaspora in Italy and Russia, as well as organisation of an information campaign to prevent HIV/AIDS among migrants and mobile population of Moldova. This project is the first stage of the IOM-Moldova strategy on tackling of HIV/AIDS infection problem and other problems related to health and quality of medical services for Moldovan migrants.
