The president of CNAS, Larisa Mezinu-Bălan, reported that Romania's diabetes treatment costs will exceed 3.3 billion lei by 2025, marking a 59% increase over five years. She emphasized the need for obesity prevention, a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes. CNAS aims to create a financing mechanism for insulin pump supplies to alleviate patient burdens. Currently, 1.8 million patients are enrolled in national programs, with nearly 1.4 million in the diabetes program. Mezinu-Bălan noted that while obesity is rarely diagnosed, costs related to its complications are significant, advocating for a focus on preventive health investments.
