Abstract

This paper presents the results of a retrospective analysis of congenital anomalies (CA) in theRepublic of Moldova (RM) over a period of 11 years (2004-2014). The spread of CA in Moldovaduring the analyzed period is characterized by a stable level. In the infant mortality structure,congenital anomalies ranked second. There is a significant increase in CA, caused bychromosomal and cardiovascular system anomalies, with an average annual rate of 0.1 and 0.5%,respectively. At the same time, the CA of the musculoskeletal system has a reduction trend with aaverage annual rate of -2.7%. Stabilization of CA spread is the result of the implementation of thenational program for the prevention and reduction of mortality and morbidity in children withcongenital anomalies and hereditary diseases for the years 2013-2017. Some identified trendsdemonstrate the existence of gaps in the primary health care work concerning family planning.
