CHISINAU, MOLDOVA – EU Project, implemented by UNICON, trains users of the new Primary Health Information System.

On 1-13 February the EU-funded project “EU support to the Health Reform: Strengthening of Primary Health Care in Moldova” in co-operation with the Medical Territorial Agency (MTA) Centru conducted a series of joint workshops for users of the Primary Health Information System “Medex”. 300 users on utilisation of the new Medex System were trained during the workshops.

This training became necessary, given that during the period October 2009-January 2010 the project developed the second version of the Medex System, which is piloted now in MTA Centru. According to the memorandum of collaboration signed between the project, Ministry of Helth and MTA Centru, the staff of MTA Centru actively participates in the development through identification of requirements toward the functionality of the system, testing and piloting. After this training, the new version of Medex (“Medex 2”) run in AMT Centru replacing the existing system. The new system can be further replicated in other MTAs, in Regional Centres and could be used country-wide in the future provided the IT infrastructure is appropriate.
