Although the Republic of Moldova faces serious challenges related to both TB and especially drug-resistant TB burden, having one of the highest rates of MDR-TB in the WHO European Region, it has also made signifi cant strides in reducing TB incidence and improving access to diagnostics and DR-TB treatment. In recent years, it has even piloted fully ambulatory MDR-TB treatment and strengthened peer and community-based support. Th ere is still much to be done, but there are many promising collaborations and projects which show that Moldova is not only taking the problem of TB seriously, but is open to innovative, patient-centred approaches.
The Center for Health Policies and Studies (PAS Center) is an independent, non-profit organization from Moldova, implementing programs at national and regional level. Our statutory mission is to improve the health and social sector through policy advocacy and evaluation, capacity building and reform support.

The regional activities include contributing to people-centered health system transformation in 11 countries from Eastern Europe and Central Asia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The PAS Center hosts the platform E-Sanatate.md which includes a network of online products with social utility, including the site Sanatate INFO – a stakeholder-driven media outlet focusing on health issues and reforms.
