Dr. Elena Copaciu, a primary physician with decades with decades, has distributed a message on her Facebook page that draws attention to the fact that, almost a decade after the tragedy from the Collective or from Crevedia, there are not yet the necessary regulations and, in addition, the minimum existing ones are not respected.

“Over 100 injured, of which the BBC says 90 are big burned! For the 59 deceased, nothing can be done! For those admitted to hospitals, the president of the country asks the medical authorities to accept the help already offered by the neighboring countries!

We, 9 years after the Collective, After Crevedia, where are we?

– I mutilated an order of the minister who regulated the infrastructures of great burns (more precisely, I did not react, that the medical society, on the contrary!)

– We do not know what the fate of the financing of regional hospitals is that have large beds in their structures

– We do not have the correct dispatch of these emergencies on the territory of the country

– The MS order is not respected with the rapid transfer of the great burned abroad when they cannot be treated in accordance with their needs!

– The drama is that we already have medical teams with training in large burns in the EU, young doctors and eager to treat these patients, and the decision makers believe that their youthful enthusiasm is sufficient! It’s not! They need the state to listen to the needs of the great burnt, child or adult, as it should!

The discount from the standards dictated by the needs of these patients is unacceptable!

PSCE is different in medical practice after The Crevedia tragedy? ”, asks Dr. Elena Copaciu rhetoric.
