The Corten Health Center in Taraclia district will be renovated with funding from the Government of Japan under the Kusanone Program. This is the village’s sole primary health care institution and thus playing significant role in the life of residents. The renovation is designed to improve sanitary and overall conditions at the facility.
Japan’s Ambassador Yamada Yoichira and the director of the Center, Diana Ceavdari, signed the grant contract worth 68,700 dollars. The money will be used to renovate the windows, doors, ceiling, walls, electricity, heating and sewage systems on the ground floor of the institution.
The Japanese official welcomed the project proposal submitted by the Corten Health Center. The ambassador expressed his gratitude to the health care providers for their unremitting effort for the benefit of the society. He also spoke about the accession negotiations to the European Union. “We want to congratulate Moldova for starting a great journey towards a bright future. The conditions for people’s health will improve as the Republic of Moldova advances towards joining the European Union, and the Japanese Government will continue to collaborate with the Republic of Moldova”, noted Yamada Yoichiro.
The Kusanone human security grant program was launched in Moldova in 2008. To date, Japan has provided 7.4 million dollars in non-refundable funding for 90 projects (excluding the new project) in the fields of health, education and public utilities.
