Alexandru Rogobete: Reforma adevărată nu înseamnă doar să reduci. Reforma adevărată înseamnă să construiești mai bine

Former Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete emphasizes the need for a stable government and balanced decisions in Romania's healthcare system. He argues that reforms must be accompanied by adequate funding, as merely cutting expenses is insufficient for sustainability. Rogobete recalls expanding the list of compensated medications during his tenure, which included 74 new drugs and extended indications for 29 others. He stresses that access to modern treatments must be matched with financial support to ensure patients benefit. He advocates for a comprehensive approach to healthcare management, balancing cost reduction with necessary investments, and calls for reforms to be evaluated based on their impact on patients.
