Peste 180 de mamografe, dar tot insuficiente: România rămâne printre codașele Europei

Despite having over 180 mammograms, Romania struggles to meet breast cancer screening needs. Former Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete highlights issues with distribution and access to screenings. He notes that while Romania has increased diagnostic capacity through international funding, it still ranks low in Europe for mammogram availability per population. Rogobete emphasizes the importance of not only acquiring equipment but also ensuring balanced distribution and preparing medical staff. He advocates for a comprehensive approach to screening that includes easy access for women and a swift transition from screening to diagnosis and treatment. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and reducing healthcare costs.
