Assessing the respect of children’s rights in hospital in the Republic of Moldovapage 1AcknowledgementThis report was written based on the results of the paediatric hospitals surveys in Republic ofMoldova that aimed at identifying and assessing gaps between the full respect of children’s rightsin hospitals and the actual practice. The assessment was supported by the Ministry of Health andthe WHO Regional Office for Europe.The original set of tools developed by the Task Force on Health Promotion for Children andAdolescents in and by Hospitals and Health Services (Task Force HPH-CA) was adapted to thecountry context. In overall, a process of the assessment and report writing was coordinated byVivian Barnekow and Aigul Kuttumuratova from Child and Adolescent Health programme ofWHO Regional Office for Europe and Larisa Boderscova from the WHO country office. Thereport was prepared by WHO consultant Ana Isabel Guerreiro.We would like to thank Dr Jarno Habicht and the WHO Country Office team in Moldova and, inparticular, Dr Larisa Boderscova, Family and Community Health program officer, for support indata collection and dissemination, as well as for compiling them in summary tables. Special thanksgo to the national focal point Dr Ala Cojocaru and the hospital assessment teams for coordinatingthe process of primary data collection in the project hospitals.This report was produced within the framework of the Biennial Collaborative Agreement (BCA)2012–2013 signed between the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Moldova and the RegionalOffice for Europe of the World Health Organization.Executive SummaryThe assessment of the respect of children’s rights in 21 hospitals in Moldova was carried out uponrecommendation by WHO Regional Office for Europe with the aim to strengthen the evidenceand overall recommendations to the Ministry of Health on improving quality of care for children inhospitals in Moldova and, in particular, the area of children’s and parents’/carers’ rights. A set ofspecific tools were used for the assessment and improvement of the respect of children’s rights inhospitals.The findings and recommendations identified in the assessment of children’s rights in hospitals inMoldova related mostly to the inputs provided by the self-evaluation teams. In future assessments,it is recommended that children and parents/carers play a more significant role in the process. Interms of quality of care, the average answer provided by parents/carers in all participatinghospitals was “probably, we received the best care within the existing conditions”.Concerning the respect of specific rights, the main findings include the following: Moldova has notadopted a Charter on Children’s rights in hospitals at national level, that is why it has not beenadopted by health facilities and it is not displayed in hospitals; all medical doctors and nursesworking in paediatric care have a specialization in paediatrics and health care is delivered inaccordance to national guidelines and protocols, although these should be aligned to internationalstandards; relevant statistical data is collected and made available at the Ministry of Health’swebsite; there are mechanisms in place to ensure that all children have equal access to healthservices, including specific measures addressing Roma children; and attention is paid to the rightto food.The main gaps include: the lack of respect, protection and fulfilment of children’s right to play andlearning, information and participation; several actions are missing to ensure the effectiveness ofthe system in identifying children who have been a victim of abuse and in protecting them againstfurther violence; there are no protocols and procedures for the prevention and management of
