Moldova has approved legislation aligning medical qualifications with EU standards while reporting a rise in state-funded cataract surgeries.

Moldova's government has approved legislation aligning national standards for recognizing doctors' and pharmacists' professional qualifications with European Union regulations. The framework introduces standardized procedures for diploma recognition and updates the requirements for medical practitioners entering professional practice.

Separately, national health insurance data indicates that more than 8,000 cataract surgeries were funded through mandatory health coverage in the first six months of the year. This marks an increase of over 1,100 operations compared to the corresponding period last year.
