The architecture of the healthcare system is wrong and needs tobe changed. On the one hand, the National Health Insurance House,which manages almost 4 billion euros in funds of the system, saysits hands are tied because it is forced by legislation to financeall Romanian hospitals even if they do not provide qualityservices, on the other hand, the Health Ministry says there hasbeen no control of the system because of the lack of an ITsystem.
These were the conclusions of the ZF Expert debate yesterday, whichwas attended by Levente Vass, personal advisor to the healthminister, Nicolae Lucian Duţă, president of the National HealthInsurance House (CNAS), Marius Savu, director of the Hospitals andMedical Services Administration (ASSM) within the Bucharest CityHall, Ilan Gonen, medical services expert, and Wargha Enayati, CEOof Centrul Medical Unirea (Unirea Medical Centre).
"A computerised system will bring control into the system. Therehave been instances of fictitious patients, so one cannot talkabout the lack of nurses in those hospitals because half thesections were empty. There is a chronic lack of restructuring,"Levente Vass said.
City and town halls, which manage most of Romanian hospitals atpresent, are the third entity to get involved in a hospital'soperations, after the Ministry and CNAS. However, none of theinstitutions have direct control over how the funds arespent.
