A Moldovan Association called HomeCare, one of Caritas CR’s partner organizations, recently received two important awards from the Moldovan Ministry of Health and from the Parliament of Moldova.
The Association was granted the awards for its activities in the field of diabetes prevention. Within this field, HomeCare, in cooperation with Caritas CR, organizes wide-ranging awareness campaigns and training sessions for medical staff.
Cartias CR began focusing its activities on diabetes prevention and treatment in 2013. Initially this was only in Chisinau however, since 2015 Caritas has extended its activities to five other regions in the south of the country, namely; Hincesti, Leova, Cimislia Cantemir and Cahul. Besides improving the quality of life for patients suffering from diabetes, both organizations strive to lower the number of deaths caused by late complications related to the illness.
The abovementioned activities are financially supported by the Czech Development Agency under the programme of International Development Cooperation for the Czech Republic.
