Alexandru Rogobete, the Minister of Health, announced that nearly 11 billion lei are needed for Romania's healthcare system to operate until the end of the year. He stated that the budget revision is expected to occur by the end of next week and assured that no hospitals will close, while emphasizing the expansion of outpatient services. Rogobete criticized the reduction of health funds in favor of delayed investments, such as stadiums. He highlighted that 80% of patients visit hospitals for consultations or treatment adjustments rather than requiring hospitalization, advocating for a shift towards outpatient care.
