HOPE for the Children of Moldova
 | The project aims at improving the know-how and the experience of specialised medical, educational and psychological personnel, at increasing their chances of employability on the Moldavian labour market, at raising the chances of survival for children for which bone marrow transplantation is the only effective method of treatment. It aims furthermore at facilitating the process of reintegration of children into school, in Vocational Education and Trainingfor the youth and social life after finishing the treatment process in the hospital.
In order to reach these objectives in a first phase it will be necessary to establish an Educational Unit at the Institute of Oncology, to provide complimentary vocational education for the pedagogical and psychological staff for more qualified support of the hospitalised children and to enhance the technical skills of the medical staff for a future Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit in the Institute of Oncology. | The Republic of Moldova is still one of Europe's poorest nations today. The Republic of Moldova is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east and south. The current social and economic situation is characterized by low incomes, decrease of the industrial and agricultural production and a high level of unemployment. The „Institute for Oncology of Moldova” was founded in 1960 and up to now it is the only institution for cancerous diseases in the Republic of Moldova. The institute has a capacity of 500 beds in the clinical department of which 40 beds are reserved for children (0-18 years), who receive treatment in the hospital. The Institute is faced with major shortcomings and therefore not capable of living up to the needs of its smallest patients, i.e. children suffering from malignant tumours living in the Republic of Moldova. |
