A Meeting of Expert (Working) Groups on Health Took Place

11/10/21

Today, a meeting of health experts was held in a videoconference format.

The meeting was primarily focused on the import of medicines and medical devices into the territory of Pridnestrovie amid the ongoing threat of Moldova-Ukraine joint customs and border control. Views were exchanged in detail regarding the parameters of maintaining state registers of medical products which are allowed to the markets of the parties, as well as regarding the current import rules for such products. The Pridnestrovian side reiterated the inadmissibility of unilateral actions and called on the representatives of the Republic of Moldova to develop a mutually acceptable mechanism that would ensure unhindered supplies of medicines to the PMR.

Further discussion between experts addressed issues of vaccination and revaccination against COVID-19, as well as import of appropriate medicines with a view to achieving herd immunity as soon as possible.
