Why the state now pays for HIV prevention among key groups in Ungheni

Needle exchange, HIV tests, counselling and tuberculosis screening — services that hundreds of people from key groups receive in Ungheni are now paid for from the prophylaxis fund of the National Health Insurance Company, not by foreign donors. Ungheni is named explicitly in a project won in February by the NGO Union for Equity and Health, part of a national package of 33 million lei for 2026–2028. A quiet but consequential shift: in a concentrated epidemic, prevention where the risk is highest protects everyone's health.

In Ungheni, graduates take the stage in a district its young people are leaving

The Graduates' Ball returns to Ungheni on 18 June 2026, in Independence Square — a ceremony for the young people finishing high school, organised by the city hall together with the district council and the Education Directorate. Last year, the stage in the town centre gathered the graduates of all eight high schools in the district. Beyond the music and the diplomas, the event carries a stake the numbers state bluntly: Ungheni is losing its young people — for every class that climbs the stage, another has already left.

80 young people graduated from Ungheni's art school, named after Raisa Cojocaru

The Art School in Ungheni held its 2026 graduation: 80 children and teenagers (74 from the fourth-year classes and 6 from the fifth year) finished their years of drawing, painting and sculpture, according to the City Hall. The school bears the name of Raisa Cojocaru, who led it for almost four decades, and has a tradition of over 57 years. And the stakes are higher than a ceremony: in a district that has lost more than half of its young people in twelve years, every generation trained at home counts.

Twenty teachers from Ungheni and Călărași learn how to include children with special needs in class

A workshop run by CCF Moldova trained 20 teachers from ten schools in the Ungheni and Călărași districts to work better with parents and with children who have special educational needs. They, in turn, will train more than 120 colleagues. Beyond the event, Ungheni is one of the country's two pilot regions for inclusive education — and the road from the orphanage to the classroom next door has changed radically in recent years.

The «Hippocrates Cup» returns to Ungheni: a second women's volleyball tournament honouring medics

On Sunday, 21 June, on Medical Worker's Day, the Ungheni Sports School hosts the second edition of the «Hippocrates Cup» women's volleyball tournament — a contest launched last year by the Ungheni Health Centre with four teams and now billed as «republican». Behind the celebration, though, lies a harsher reality: over eight years the district has lost 26 doctors and 94 nurses, and the district hospital has 25 vacant doctor posts.
