The Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, is considering increasing the daily food allowance for hospitalized patients, currently set at 22 lei, due to rising costs. He discussed this issue with the Prime Minister and indicated that changes could be implemented soon. Rogobete acknowledged that the current allowance is insufficient and emphasized that it should not be compared to restaurant prices, as hospitals purchase food in bulk. He also requested patients and medical staff to send photos of hospital meals to highlight quality issues. Additionally, he called for an evaluation of the kitchen facilities at the Grigore Alexandrescu Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children in Bucharest.
