Summary: 

The Republic of Moldova gives migrants the option to buy into national insurance schemes. Both migrants and refugees benefit from medical services through the mandatory health insurance system and also benefit from preventive and disease prevention services (e.g. immunization, communication/information, screening, prophylactic treatment for infectious diseases). In addition, the Ministry of Interior has issued guidelines for referral, reception, medical examination, and treatment of asylum seekers, refugees, and beneficiaries of humanitarian protection and of foreigners placed in the Centre for the Temporary Placement of Foreigners, as approved by a Minister’s Order. The Bureau for Migration and Asylum's biannual workshops on migrants’ rights includes modules on the right to health.
