Medical Law

Medical law regulates the correlation between legal norms and medical practice, providing a legal framework for the conduct of activities within the healthcare sector. Although the legislation in the Republic of Moldova does not explicitly define the term "medical malpractice," cases involving professional errors in medical practice are increasingly common. These situations can affect healthcare professionals and medical institutions, as well as patients, generating significant legal and social consequences.

THE HEALTH REGULATION ON HYGIENE CONDITIONS FOR MEDICAL SERVICE PROVIDERS INTRODUCES NEW CATEGORIES OF PROVIDERS

On 14 January 2026, the Government approved the Sanitary Regulation on hygiene conditions for healthcare service providers, thereby modernizing the legal framework applicable to this sector. The Regulation introduces two new categories of providers — the mobile medical office and the mobile medical unit — and establishes clear rules on sanitary authorization, location, minimum equipment, sterilization, ventilation, waste management, and staff protection. These new rules are intended to expand access to healthcare services, especially in rural or underserved areas, while ensuring a higher level of safety and greater consistency in practice.
