Moldova

Child Health International have been collaborating with medical experts within Moldova on and off since November 2010. Cystic Fibrosis teams often lack specialist equipment and nebulisers, something that CHI has worked closely with other charities to address. CHI has also facilitated conference attendance and work shadowing between Moldovan experts and the University Hospital Southampton.  

Recent personnel changes have opened further opportunities for collaboration, something CHI is currently exploring.
