Health care financing in the Republic of Moldova under the pressure of COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The study highlights the issue of attracting migrant workers in the financial contribution scheme to the health system in the Republic of Moldova. The right to healthcare of migrant workers is becoming a topical issue for an interconnected world in which hundreds of millions of workers are employed outside their countries of origin. The COVID-19 pandemic has revived interest in medical services for migrant workers, but academic interest is predominant from the perspective of migrant host states, not countries of origin. The research on the financing of the healthcare system through the attracting of migrant workers contributes to the completion of the health economy with theses related to the attracting of migrants in the health systems of the countries of origin and, simultaneously, aims to formulate recommendations for financing the medical system in Moldova and ensuring social justice.
