“It takes many billion euros to achieve an acceptable infrastructure, Romania can’t afford that. (…) This is the money Romania has, we can’t bring in any more. Certainly, we will try and spare no effort to make sure money in health care is spent well, that fraud is kept at bay and the money ends up where it’s needed,” Nicolaescu said at the conference Mediafax Talks about Health Reform.
The minister said the requirements of all hospitals in the country are currently being centralized and authorities will prioritize health care spending for 2014-2016, adding oncology is top priority.
The fifth annual edition of the Mediafax Talks about Health Reform conference in Bucharest is organized by MEDIAFAX news agency and the Ministry of Health.
