"Centrul Speranței Chișinău" day center, developed by Hospices of Hope Moldova, has obtained Accreditation for Providing Home Palliative Care

"Centrul Speranței Chișinău" day center, developed by Hospices of Hope Moldova, continues its mission to provide support to patients suffering from incurable diseases. Today, we are delighted to announce that "Centrul Speranței Chișinău" day center has received the Accreditation Certificate for Providing Home Palliative Care, thereby reinforcing our commitment to ensuring access to quality care for all those in need.

The accreditation obtained represents an important and long-awaited step towards providing free quality medical, social, and psychological services for patients struggling with serious illness and facing difficulty in mobility. In a time where mobility is a major challenge for them, the opportunity to receive care at home brings a significant level of safety and tranquility, ensuring a pain-free environment for patients.

"For the beneficiaries of Hospices of Hope Moldova, every moment of comfort and support matters immensely. We are grateful that now we will be able to be even closer to the patients who need our help. They are not alone in this fight and will be able to rely on the free assistance we provide, now directly at their homes. Whether it's medical, social, or psychological assistance, the multidisciplinary team is dedicated to providing help to ensure our beneficiaries a pain-free life until the last moment," Veronica Dragnev-Sacara, Country Manager of Hospices of Hope Moldova.

At the same time, another important moment is that "Centrul Speranței Chișinău" day center has managed to contract home care services with the National Health Insurance Company (Compania Națională de Asigurări în Medicină). This includes both the services of the interdisciplinary team and the care provided individually by the doctor, nurse, social worker, and psychologist.

This achievement represents an important step towards a more empathetic and inclusive society, where every person has the right to receive the support and care they need during vulnerable moments.

"Centrul Speranței Chișinău" day center, along with Hospices of Hope Moldova, would like to express gratitude for all the support provided by national authorities, the Ministry of Health, and National Health Insurance Company (CNAM). On behalf of our beneficiaries, we extend thanks to the donors and supporters of Hospices of Hope Moldova, who make our mission to provide assistance to those suffering from incurable diseases and in need of Palliative Care possible. Together, we will continue to open doors for more accessible and effective Palliative Care to be available to as many beneficiaries as possible.
