Background to the post
Since the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine on the 24th February 2022, almost 14 million Ukrainians have been displaced seeking refuge in EU countries. As of March 2023, more than 2.1 million people arriving from Ukraine and 899 896 people arriving from Moldova have entered Romania. Of these people, 109 000 are currently registered in Romania.
The health needs of Ukrainian refugees are significant, and require access to a range of health services to address their physical and mental health needs, but access to these services can be challenging in Romania due to language barriers, lack of documentation, financial resources, discrimination, and unfamiliarity with the health care system.
The refugees are mainly present in the cities of Bucharest, Constanta, Brasov and Iasi. The French Red Cross is participating in the response of the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement in Ukraine and surrounding countries by providing significant logistical support and by opening delegations in Moldova and Romania. In Romania, the French Red Cross delegation is located at the Romanian Red Cross headquarters in Bucharest. Together with the Romanian Red Cross, the French Red Cross is engaged in a two-year health project for Ukrainians and vulnerable host populations.
Ongoing CRF programs in the area
The Health caravan project started in September 2022, with the main objective to contribute to the improvement of the overall health of host communities living in rural areas and of people fleeing Ukraine who are outside the Romanian health system through better access to care. The project participates in the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases affecting the target populations and helps facilitate access to primary healthcare to the target population through general and specialized consultations and an efficient referral system.
With the support of the French Red Cross, the RRC opened 5 Health Centres in major cities and launched a mobile unit (caravan) in June 2023 to cover remote rural areas in 14 Judets. The Health caravan and centers has been providing medical consultations (general medicine, dentistry, pediatrics, cardiology, optometry), gynecological consultations with the NGO 'Actions Santé Femmes', and an adapted referral to specialists or partners.
