The Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, said Monday evening, on B1 TV, that the ministry he leads, the emergency and critical areas, received money to function optimally until the end of the year. “Not to be confused with we have it all. We don’t have it all, that’s what we work for every day,” he emphasizes.
“I want to tell the people who are looking at us that, at the moment, from a financial point of view, until the end of this year, Health has escaped that budgetary pressure”, said the Minister of Health, according to News.ro.
He accused the former prime minister Ilie Bolojan of the financial crises the system faced.
“You can’t cut more from an underfunded system. Health is the least funded system in the European Union. In last place. How can you cut more from this area? It’s impossible! After the budget rectification, after what happened last week, I say this: the Ministry of Health, the emergency area, everything that means Ambulance, everything that means ATI, critical areas, heart attack, stroke and the list goes on have the funding ensured for optimal activity until the end this year.
Not to be confused with “we have everything”. We don’t have everything, that’s why we work every day and I will present you some projects that will be done, but from a fiscal point of view we have an optimal and balanced situation until the end of the year”, added Alexandru Rogobete.
The money allocated to the rectification of the National Health Insurance House will ensure the payment of medical services for hospitals, payment for the national insurance programs, leaving a backlog of approximately 4.5 billion lei for the payment of medical leaves.
