Tóm tắt : | The Republic of Moldova has a well-developed family medicine-centred primary health care (PHC) system. PHC system development has being supported by the strategic goals set out in the Strategy for the Development of Primary Health Care for 2010–2013. Although the strategy has not been updated, the Republic of Moldova continues to build on past success in moving towards a strong PHC-centred health system. This policy paper aims to describe the current challenges facing PHC financing in the Republic of Moldova and to present policy options to improve health outcomes and increase value for money in public spending, reflecting relevant international evidence and experience. Moldovan PHC financing has several strengths, including a relatively high level of public spending and a fairly generous PHC services package, which is available free at the point of use to the entire population. The country also has a relatively long experience of organizing the purchase of PHC services. Nevertheless, several challenges exist. To strengthen PHC financing, the Republic of Moldova could consider improving its PHC budgeting and contracting practices, refining the PHC services package, improving the payment design, and making outpatient prescription medicines more affordable. Beyond health financing, further efforts are needed to invest in the PHC workforce, improve digital data collection, and strengthen PHC governance. xii, 28 p. |
