In Romania, widowed parents face significant challenges in accessing medical treatment due to childcare concerns. Oana Danci, a university lecturer, highlights the struggles of single parents after losing a spouse. Many delay cancer treatments or leave hospitals prematurely because they lack support for their children. The Fabrica de Zâmbete LavLife association advocates for legislative changes to provide temporary care for minors at home while parents undergo treatment. They emphasize the need for collaboration between hospitals and social services to ensure children's safety during parental health crises. The association aims to raise awareness about these issues, especially as many children are already coping with the trauma of losing a parent.
