Two First Aid “Blue Dot” Centers Established at Leușeni and Sculeni Border Crossing Points

Two first aid centers, known as “Blue Dot” centers, have been established at the Leușeni and Sculeni border crossing points. The “Blue Dots” in Leușeni and Sculeni are a UNICEF project implemented by Partnerships for Every Child. These centers provide information, counseling, and identification services for unaccompanied or separated children.

For this purpose, several child protection specialists are currently working at the border crossing points, offering support to the Border Police in order to more effectively prevent cases of abuse and trafficking, especially among children from at-risk groups. The two centers are also equipped with spaces adapted to the needs of women with young children and breastfeeding mothers.

The “Blue Dot” first aid centers are spaces established by UNICEF, UNHCR, central public authorities, and other development partners. They are located near the border crossing points with Ukraine and bring together specialists from various fields who provide counseling and other services based on identified needs. Moreover, these centers serve as safe and child-friendly spaces where children can rest, play, and take part in activities that help them cope more easily with the trauma caused by the conflict.
