Abstract:
Public health is a fundamental determinant of economic development, directly influencing labor productivity, human capital, and the sustainability of social systems. In the Republic of Moldova, the interdependence between the population's health status and economic dynamics is particularly relevant in the context of economic transition, population aging, and external pressures. This article analyzes recent trends, key challenges, and implications for public policy. Public health in the Republic of Moldova is both a result of economic development and a driver of it. Although progress has been made in financing and access, structural challenges persist. Strengthening the health system, reducing inequalities, and investing in prevention are essential for ensuring sustainable economic growth. UDC: 614:338.1(478); JEL: A10, K8, E16
