PMB vine cu explicații după abrogarea programului „Voucher Materna”: Primăria are obligația de a-și echilibra finanțele
The Bucharest City Hall announced the cancellation of the 'Voucher Materna' program, citing budgetary responsibility and the existing coverage of prenatal services through national health insurance. The decision aims to redirect savings towards the modernization of hospitals and maternity wards. The program, which provided financial support to pregnant women, was deemed redundant as all expectant mothers already have access to free medical services. The cancellation is expected to save up to 100 million lei over four years, allowing the municipality to prioritize urgent healthcare investments.
