country and those from at least four neighbouring districts will no
longer need to travel to the city of Chisinau for examinations, and
their medical insurance will cover the examination costs. The prime
minister specified that the centre was opened in a very strategic
location, as the population of Orhei is appx. 125,900 persons. “This
is a successful example for the Republic of Moldova. The opening of
this centre, unique in its capacity and performance, was rendered
possible due to demands from local authorities in Orhei.”

The Ministry of Health will perform audits on the centre as
well as monitor patient quantity and satisfaction over a period of
six months.
