Professor Nicolae Testemitanu excellent scholar in the field of public health and management, Laureate of State

Prize in science and technology, remains for us a unique personality to this day, but for those times.
We insist on the words "those times", as it knows that even the most philanthropist, scientist, doctor, engineer, to get
access and permission to serve the people must first of all be manifested, then show that it is monochrome sub
ideological aspect. Incidentally, this was the fate of all those who endeavored to serve the nation. And after declaring
follower of the ideology is put into action some diabolical instruments were a total scan to detect human unless you
have deviations to other primary colors of the spectrum or whether wandered among them. If there was not enough
purple red, it passed several stages of rigorous control, the latter being called "resistance to scrapping the first
model", which in fact fatal sample mean.
Professor Nicolae Testemitanu has special merits in solving numerous problems with the Ministry of Health (Minister
Nicolae Testemitanu, 1963-1968), including the selection and training of scientific and medical. Thus, the years 19611969 were sent to centers of medical science in the former Soviet republics 250 graduate students who, returning to
their native became Emer scholars, heads of medical institutions, doctors of different profiles. Many of them have
created the foundations of science and practice of health care in Moldova.
Nicolae Testemitanu was born on August 1, 1927 into the family of Andrei Testemianu, wise and thrifty peasant

graduating with honors a local school, aspiring to become a doctor, is registered at the State Institute of Medicine

Chisinau, in this position and manifesting exceptional organizational skills.
Nicolae Testemitanu in 1962 was appointed Minister of Health Care of MSSR, leaving the chair and Traumatology,
orthopedics and surgery campaign. In this capacity they were fully expressed his organizational virtues in public
health. As minister, he developed strategies aimed at ensuring the republic's population with medical personnel, to
strengthen material and technical base of health for training and anchoring the forms and methods of organizing
healthcare in rural areas.
But "worked" one of the mechanisms above (again suspiciu ideological color) and in 1968 was dismissed Nicolae
Testemitanu post. But he resisted the "scrapping of the first sample copy" because he had strong character and
devoted his destiny. He continued by lecturer at the Social Medicine and organization of healthcare.
Good ambition that they lack some one urged to support PhD thesis and obtain the title of professor in 1973. Elected
head of the competition department of social medicine and organization of Health of the State Institute of Medicine
from Chisinau, he led to a sudden death that occurred on September 20, 1986 surrounded by peers of course.
Throughout his career, scientific interest, but mostly practical one, was oriented towards explaining the need to
liquidate the substantive differences between the levels of care given to the rural population to urban areas, an
important factor misunderstood rulers. to this end, the initiative and under his leadership has been created and
successfully operated a laboratory specializing in the field.
Nicolae Testemitanu is a world-renowned scholar in the field of surgery, traumatology, especially in public health and
management. In societies unofficial Professor Nicolae Testemitanu argued that the theory is a huge chandelier with
many lamps, which enlightens those gathered in a large hall to celebrate the progress of science, from the doorman

to the president of the academy, light from taking each as he wants but only a small flashlight experience is well
focused, shining slope only cells that possess and those who follow him.
Nicolae Testemitanu elite scientist bequeathed numerous scientific papers and applied, which today involves
fundamental methodological elements to reorient public health system during the transition and future. This arsenal
totaled 220 scientific papers, including 15 monographs devoted to current problems of public health management,
history of medicine, traumatology and beyond, was created by perseverance scientific and applied gradually over the
years.
Among the many publications of Professor Nicolae Testemitanu a deep interest in theoretical and applied present his
work fundamental "ways of adjusting the levels of healthcare rural and urban population." This scripture assured
Nicolae Testemitanu famous scientist in the field of public health and health management not only in our country but
also abroad. Department headed by Nicolae Testemitanu was appreciated as a center for scientific-methodical union
coordination problems adjusting levels of healthcare rural population in ex-USSR.
The event led to a new stage of development of medical and social thinking in Moldova, which has been studied,
tested and scientifically argued over 15 years. Research conducted under the supervision of professor Nicolae
Testemitanu and analysis of various features aimed at influencing health, for example the climatic and geographical,
medical, social, demographic, socioeconomic, sociocultural, etc. Specific rural areas of the country.
Professor Nicolae Testemitanu grant permanent attention of the scientific and practical aspects of development
required specialized care in rural areas. He argued and developed a new scientific conception of organizing
healthcare specialist outpatient and emergency services provided to the rural population. This concept provides
inpatient care in hospitals centralize power sector with the capacity of 600-800 beds and wards 60 beds and over,
opening the staionarelor of stations (stations) decentralization of emergency and primary health care provided in
outpatient four categories and three categories of medical points.
As a result, Professor Nicolae Testemitanu developed scientific understanding of the optimal organization of care of
the rural population, which will facilitate access and improve quality of care in staionarele sectoral central and near
maximal specialized medical assistance to visit their patient areas .
Scientific research results were made based conception argument that the Directive is a priority for improving the
organization of healthcare to rural population perspective.
To implement "the concept of organizing specialized care outpatient and hospital with emergency service paid to the
rural population" in 1983 Professor Nicolae Testemitanu and accomplices were awarded the State Prize of the MSSR
in science and technology. According to this view. he has developed and supported projects to four categories of
dispensaries, ambulatory and three categories of medical points relative to the population served. We know that the
scientist Nicolae Testemitanu was the first in the country who argued scientifically optimal variant of organizing the
health network and location made rational healthcare institutions rural population at home at the moment and in the
future.
To organize scientific research necessary to improve the forms of organizing and improving the healthcare of the rural
population in residential area, on the initiative of professor Nicolae Testemitanu were concluded and successfully
realized contracts with numerous scientific centers of the former USSR and over its boundaries, for example with the
Institute of Medicine "IPPavlova" in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), the Institute of Medicine and organization of healthcare in
Prague (Czech Republic), Faculty of Medicine, University of town. Pechi (Hungary), Institute of Medicine cities Riga,
Voronezh, Arkhangelsk, Odessa etc.
To ensure the exchange of scientific information and practical She organize and carry out annual scientific forums in
Moldova and in the cities listed above with the participation of famous personalities: public health specialists and
management. From the above results evident that the main direction of the scientific work of Professor Nicolae
Testemitanu has been developing a new strategy and rationale for reforming the health care system of rural

population. This strategy was highly appreciated not only by scientists from the former USSR, but also those
abroad. That is why we believe that health care reform and implementation forms of medical care and assistance
population in the new economic conditions must take into account and make use of concepts developed by Professor
Nicolae Testemitanu anchoring them naturally to the specific socio-economic current Republic of Moldova.
The curriculum vitae of Nicolae Testemitanu content and combative spirit, and devotion, and love of people - their
exceptional qualities of personalities. Regrettably, it was appreciated at its true value them already in eternity.
