Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and the Republic of Moldova have become the main host countries for the Ukrainian people.

The use of telemedicine in health and social care: myths, benefits, barriers

Moldova is facing a rapidly ageing population. In 2020, the number of people over 60 years represented 21.8% of the country's total population, and the share of this age group is constantly increasing.  In response to this phenomenon, the public authorities and NGOs have developed several health and social care services to ensure that older people can live decently and independently in their own homes. But progress in these efforts has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic which has affected the effective and continuous provision of these services.
