Sadly, coronavirus is rampant in communities across Moldova, claiming the lives of many, among whom are pastors and church leaders.
At the time of writing, news has come through about a graduate from Balti Mission School who is very ill with Covid-19. As mentioned in a previous Inside Story, government-led treatments and vaccinations are a long way off for Moldovans.
Our partners shared how the SGA-sponsored medical teams in Moldova and Ukraine help patients with Covid-19. Due to lack of hospital spaces most of the sick are treated at home. Only people in serious condition are admitted to hospital.
The main problem is testing. Even though a person has medical insurance, free testing is not prescribed until they are hospitalized. The cost of one test is very expensive for an average resident of Moldova – about 40 euros. The other problem is that there is no free medication, and some is quite expensive.
