The Reality of Emergency Response in Moldova

In metropolitan centers, professional emergency rescue crews typically arrive within 10 to 15 minutes. In regional and rural Moldovan communities, however, difficult topography, road infrastructure, and resource limitations can extend response times past 30 minutes.

When cardiac arrest occurs, brain death begins in just 4 to 6 minutes. If bystanders do not immediately initiate high-quality chest compressions and apply an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), survival chances drop by 10% with every passing minute.
