Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete called the Sibiu Emergency Clinical Hospital posing as a relative seeking a neurology appointment. He discovered that no slots were available for November. This call was part of a broader investigation into hospital appointment systems across Romania. Following the call, Rogobete announced extensive checks by the Ministry's Control Body to assess scheduling practices and potential irregularities. The response from local politician Adrian Echert criticized the minister for his lack of awareness regarding systemic issues in healthcare, highlighting funding problems and the need for better management. As of now, neither the hospital nor the local council has commented on the situation.
