“A historic, unprecedented amount.” Alexandru Rogobete: 30 billion lei invested in healthcare

“It is a historic, unprecedented sum that will transform the healthcare system,” Rogobete stated. He detailed each component funded through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

In primary care, 2,509 clinics were equipped with medical devices. The total investment in this component was 720 million lei. The equipment includes ECGs, spirometers, Holter monitors, and ultrasound machines. They are primarily intended for screening and primary diagnosis.

For specialty outpatient clinics, 66 contracts were signed. The minimum target required by the European Commission was 30. The Ministry doubled that figure. Of these, 48 projects are fully completed, and 18 are nearing completion.
