Other important allocations include: 3.9 billion lei for primary medical assistance, with a 14.1-per cent increase; 1.74 billion lei for specialized outpatient medical assistance, including dental services; 2.01 billion lei for emergency pre-hospital medical services.
Expenditures for compensated medicines and medical devices will increase by 19.3 per cent, exceeding 1.43 billion lei, and 95.22 million lei will be allocated for expanding the list of compensated medicines and devices, allowing more patients access to treatment.
The development and modernization fund for public medical service providers is estimated at 340.2 million lei, out of which 240.2 million lei will be used for major repairs at the Institute of Emergency Medicine, the Cardiology Institute, the Mother and Child Institute, the Timofei Mosneaga Republican Clinical Hospital and the Oncology Institute.
