Over 100,000 refugees remain in the Republic of Moldova, of whom approximately 62,000 are under temporary protection and over 18,000 are registered with a GP. Against this backdrop, the authorities and international partners are stepping up their efforts to ensure access to healthcare and continuity of care.

The Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO) Moldova organised a new meeting of the Sectoral Working Group on Health and Nutrition, attended by UN agencies, donors and partners in the health sector.

One of the key topics of the meeting was the presentation of the NEXUS roadmap for health and the operational plan for the period 2026–2028. The documents aim to facilitate a gradual transition from humanitarian assistance interventions to sustainable mechanisms integrated into the national health system.

The plan emphasises identifying sustainable financing solutions for healthcare services, strengthening human resources and improving coordination between public institutions and international partners. The aim is to maintain refugees’ access to necessary healthcare services and reduce dependence on temporary support mechanisms.

Integrating the solutions developed as part of the humanitarian response into the national health system is considered essential to ensuring the continuity of healthcare services, both for refugees and for host communities.
