Abstract

As a result of the Ukraine conflict, more than 6.3 million refugees had to flee to neighbouring countries, among them the Republic of Moldova (RoM), triggering a social and humanitarian crisis. From our assessment of the general health situation and upon request of the RoM Ministry of Health, Swiss Humanitarian Aid module "mother and child" has been deployed to refugee transit centres to deliver primary health care of mothers and children. Due to the specific refugee population consisting mainly of mothers and children, the module showed to be very beneficial, extremely flexible and was highly appreciated. Simultaneously, strategic hospitals were revisited for contingency planning, but also in view of logistical support. We organized a "train the trainer" course together with the National Centre of pre-hospital assistance.
