DIICOT: Comisarul Consiliului Europei le atrage atenția lui Bolojan și Pîslaru asupra căminelor din România, după cazul Dumbrava

The case of Dumbrava has raised significant concerns regarding the treatment of vulnerable individuals in care homes in Romania. Michael O’Flaherty, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights, highlighted the need for systemic reforms in social care. He acknowledged Romania's progress but pointed out ongoing issues, such as the perception of elderly residents as mere service beneficiaries rather than rights holders. The illegal operation of care homes, particularly in Dumbrava, has led to severe abuses and numerous deaths. O’Flaherty called for better integration of social and health systems, improved inspection methods, and adequate funding for care services. He emphasized the importance of independent monitoring and the role of NGOs in advocating for residents' rights. The ongoing investigation by DIICOT into the illegal care network has sparked public debate and highlighted the need for accountability and reform in the sector.
