Am aflat cât valorează viața unui cetățean pentru statul român

A woman from Timișoara, suffering from cancer, faced legal battles against Romanian state institutions to obtain a costly medication not covered by health insurance. Despite her oncologist's recommendation for pembrolizumab, the state argued it was not obligated to cover treatments prescribed off-label. The case reached the Timișoara Court of Appeal, which ruled in her favor, emphasizing the urgency of her medical needs and the potential life-threatening consequences of delays. The court ordered the state to provide the medication at full compensation until the case is resolved, highlighting the tension between legal frameworks and patients' rights to timely treatment.
