Alternativa Clinic, led by Professor Veaceslav Moșin, one of the pioneers of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the Republic of Moldova, is the first provider authorized and contracted by CNAM to offer IVF services in 2026. The clinic has obtained authorization from the Transplant Agency to provide medically assisted reproduction services, valid for five years. In the first stage, CNAM has contracted 14 IVF procedures, financed through the mandatory health insurance fund.

Starting August 21, Alternativa Clinic is offering free consultations to people who want to find out whether they are eligible for the IVF Program through CNAM.

How to access the program

The patient must obtain a referral form from their family doctor or obstetrician-gynecologist. They can then choose a clinic themselves from among the providers authorized and contracted by CNAM.

At Alternativa Clinic, a specialist in infertility and assisted reproduction reviews the medical investigations, confirms the diagnosis, checks for possible contraindications, and determines eligibility. If all criteria are met, the clinic electronically submits the registration form to the Program coordinator at the Mother and Child Institute.

The program is intended for couples and single women who are citizens of the Republic of Moldova, diagnosed with infertility and insured under the mandatory health insurance system. Medical eligibility criteria include the woman being 40 years old or younger, having an adequate ovarian reserve, and meeting the medical conditions required for the procedure.

What IVF through CNAM covers

The program covers specialist consultations, ultrasound monitoring, sperm collection and preparation, oocyte retrieval, embryological procedures and fertilization, including ICSI when medically indicated, embryo transfer, and β-hCG testing to confirm pregnancy.

The program does not cover ovarian stimulation and pregnancy-support medications, PGT, or embryo freezing and thawing.
