EU expands support for energy-efficient healthcare infrastructure in Moldova

The European Investment Bank’s development arm, EIB Global, on 19 June announced an expansion of its support for the modernisation of Moldova’s healthcare sector.

The new financing comprises an additional €10 million European Union investment grant managed by EIB Global and mobilised through the EU’s ‘Neighbourhood Investment Platform’. The grant will finance renovation works in selected hospitals, helping to reduce energy consumption and operating costs, while improving conditions for patients and healthcare professionals.

The latest funding complements the Moldova Energy Efficiency project, bringing the total investment in the upgrade of ten public hospitals across the country to €72.4 million.

Financed by the EU, the EIB and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the overall project is expected to benefit more than a million patients and over 10,000 healthcare professionals annually, while cutting energy consumption in hospitals by around 40%, and strengthening Moldova’s energy security.

Under the programme, approximately 203,000 square metres of hospital space across the country will be renovated by July 2028. Planned works include thermal insulation, the replacement of windows and doors, upgrades to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, the installation of energy-efficient lighting and photovoltaic panels, and improvements to accessibility and fire safety.
