“The oath is sacred. As a military man, I know full well that violating it can cost lives and reduce confidence in life-saving professions. Those who violate the Hippocratic Oath – to protect and serve – should be punished promptly and severely. Those responsible for the operation and improvement of the health system to prevent such violations – for example, the Minister of Health – must act without hesitation and the authorities must provide the necessary support to the families of those who suffered in such a terrible case”Nicolae Ciucă wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
He added that it is essential for people to be assured that those who take an oath of office really follow through on their commitments.
“Without trust, they will not come to us when they need it, and society as a whole will suffer.“, concludes the PNL leader.
Two doctors from the Emergency Clinical Hospital “St. Pantelimon” from Bucharest were detained on Wednesday for qualified murder, being accused of having caused the death of a serious patient by suddenly decreasing the dose of noradrenaline. In the file, a nurse was also detained for perjury.
Four employees of the Pantelimon Hospital in the Capital were picked up by the police on Wednesday and taken to hearings as part of an investigation into suspicious deaths at the ATI Department.
The investigation, which concerns the death of 17 patients at the ATI Department in April 2024, continues under the coordination of the Prosecutor’s Office and the General Police Directorate of the Municipality of Bucharest.
We remind you that on April 11, the hospital manager was informed in writing by the director of care that there is information from a medical assistant, that between April 4-7, 20 patients died in the ATI department due to incorrect administration of a medicine.
