Introduction
The Moldova oncology procurement for 2026 has confirmed a significant commitment to investing in high-cost, innovative cancer therapies. Based on the recently concluded public procurement results for oncology and immunosuppressive medicines for 2026, the country’s demand presents a substantial, two-pronged opportunity for foreign manufacturers, marketing authorization holders (MAHs), and exporters: securing high-value contracts and filling critical supply gaps.
