“I was deeply concerned to learn of the incident in Soroca, involving a woman who came to register for compensation and who, sadly, subsequently died in hospital. I want to assure you that my colleagues reacted immediately and called an ambulance, but, unfortunately, the woman died in hospital. We are now in discussion with the Minister of Health to clarify all the circumstances surrounding this incident. We will provide further information in due course,” said Natalia Plugaru.

MP Alena Pilipețcaia reported that the woman had been queuing for several hours, waiting to submit her application for compensation. She offered her condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased woman and called on the Ministry of Labour and the relevant services to review how the reception of citizens is organised.

“Why do elderly people and those on low incomes have to spend hours queuing to apply for assistance? Why aren’t normal conditions provided for those who cannot submit their applications online?”, asked the MP.

According to her, the authorities must offer people the opportunity to apply for assistance without having to wait for hours and must urgently review the conditions under which citizens are received.

The cause of the woman’s death has not yet been established. The minister stated that the circumstances of the case are being investigated jointly with the Ministry of Health.
