ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH SECURITY AND CRISES MANAGEMENT CAPACITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Key findings There is no overall strategy for training health personnel and no regular budget to develop an ongoing, continuing professional development programme to ensure adequate numbers of competent staff for crisis preparedness and response. Present training is focused mainly on emergency medicine and no courses are available on disaster management or the broader public health issues. Recommendations Disaster management should also be increasingly included the pre- and post-graduate curricula of health professionals (doctors, nurses and paramedics). It is also an essential topic for any postgraduate training in public health.
