Asociațiile Bolnavilor de Cancer: În 24 de ore, am identificat 3 medicamente care lipsesc • Newsweek România
The Federation of Cancer Patients' Associations warns about the critical shortage of oncology medications, urging authorities to verify their availability. In a letter to the Prime Minister and CNAS, they identified three unavailable drugs and eight with ongoing shortages. The federation highlights the impact of limited access to healthcare, particularly in rural areas, and the high rate of preventable mortality in Romania. They call for transparency in stock levels, solutions for missing medications, and a permanent dialogue with patient associations. Delays in accessing approved therapies due to administrative issues are also a concern.
