Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete emphasized the need for strict access control in hospitals to protect staff and patients. He urged hospital managers to carefully select security firms and review access protocols. Recent legislative changes have increased penalties for assaults on medical personnel. Rogobete stressed that hospitals should not allow unrestricted access and that visitor entry should be regulated. He highlighted the responsibility of managers in ensuring safety and warned those who do not understand this responsibility to resign. The legal framework for protecting medical staff has been strengthened by Law 166/2026, effective from August 8, 2026.
