Health and Local Public Services

Switzerland promotes the quality and accessibility of basic services for Moldovans and Ukrainian refugees with a focus on health and local public services. The programme engages with central and local public authorities, civil society organisations and communities to improve the efficiency and transparentcy provision of essential public services - such as water supply and solid -waste management - and of health services, including health promotion and disease prevention.
Switzerland also supports Moldova in strengthening the capacity of the health system to better respond to future crises, with a particular focus on primary healthcare, emergency care and rehabilitation services.

The health gap between rich and poor continues to widen. In many parts of the world, the progress that has been achieved in public health over the years is being reversed.
