Development of a new child and adolescent health strategy in the Republic of Moldova
To help improve noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention and control, the Republic of Moldova is developing a new strategy for child and adolescent health and development (CAHD). A policy dialogue on integrating gender, equity and rights in the new strategy, in line with the principles of the European policy framework Health 2020, was organized on 27 May 2014 by the Ministry of Health with WHO/Europe support. The event brought together representatives from the ministries of health, social affairs, education, youth and sports, as well as the youth-friendly health services network, youth and gender equality organizations, inter-agency partners and development agencies.
