In addition to the gynecological operating room, medical examination rooms, post-operative and intensive care rooms were also equipped with special beds, ventilators, monitors, electrocardiographs, stretchers for intensive care, defibrillators, gynecological armchairs, refrigerators for storage medicines, sterilizers. "All the equipment with which the hall is equipped is more efficient than the previous one. We also have special equipment for laboratories. Around 800 surgical interventions are performed in this department per year. The average age is 50 plus", says gynecologist Vladimir Bucinschi. The donated medical equipment is adapted to the needs of girls and women with disabilities, which will increase the degree of inclusion and access to medical services. "I saw the new equipment that was procured. We donated to help hospitals and, in particular, women with children from the Republic of Moldova and refugees coming from Ukraine", emphasized the US ambassador to Chisinau, Kent Logsdon. "Women had to wait up to three months for an intervention or operation facilities. Now the time has been shortened twice. If the woman has started the treatment, she cannot stop it and if she is a refugee and has to flee her country, she needs treatment because it may be too late", says the UNFPA representative in the Republic of Moldova, Nigina Abaszada. "There will be more operations, this means that the waiting list is shortened both for patients from the Republic of Moldova and for refugee patients. Better conditions, higher standards in these operating rooms", declared the Minister of Health, Ala Nemerenco. Among the 470 refugee patients from Ukraine, taken into account by the Oncological Institute in the capital, 80% are women. The donated equipment is worth $2.5 million.
