Prime Minister Luca Niculescu announced that the government will adopt a decision on October 30 to address urgent budgetary adjustments for priority sectors, especially healthcare. A new budget revision will be prepared based on the country's financial data. Niculescu emphasized that healthcare funding is a priority, even amid budget constraints, viewing it as an investment in Romania's future. He referenced an OECD study indicating that Romania's healthcare funding per capita is about half the European average. The Prime Minister warned of the social costs of underfunding the healthcare system, including increased chronic illnesses and preventable deaths. These statements were made during a visit to a tuberculosis treatment center.
