Rom\u00e2nia a pierdut finan\u021barea european\u0103 pentru unit\u0103\u021bile medicale mobile destinate depist\u0103rii precoce a cancerului la femei. Potrivit datelor transmise c\u0103tre Funda\u021bia pentru Ap\u0103rarea Cet\u0103\u021benilor \u00cempotriva Abuzurilor Statului (FACIAS), Ministerul S\u0103n\u0103t\u0103\u021bii nu a reu\u0219it s\u0103 atrag\u0103 fondurile alocate prin Planul Na\u021bional de Redresare \u0219i Rezilien\u021b\u0103 (PNRR) pentru aceast\u0103 component\u0103 esen\u021bial\u0103 a infrastructurii prespitalice\u0219ti. Aceast\u0103 decizie pune \u00een pericol vie\u021bile a mii de rom\u00e2nce, \u00eentr-o \u021bar\u0103 care \u00eenregistreaz\u0103, \u00een mod alarmant, cea mai mare rat\u0103 de mortalitate de cancer de col uterin din Uniunea European\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen r\u0103spunsul transmis recent c\u0103tre FACIAS, Ministerul S\u0103n\u0103t\u0103\u021bii a eliminat finan\u021barea din PNRR destinat\u0103 achizi\u021bion\u0103rii acestor unit\u0103\u021bi medicale mobile, \u00een ciuda faptului c\u0103 ele sunt esen\u021biale pentru preven\u021bia \u0219i depistarea precoce a cancerului mamar \u0219i cervical.<\/p>\n
The ministry justifies the removal of funding for mobile cancer screening units on the grounds of administrative incapacity and a change in priorities. According to the ministry, \"during the process of updating the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), the Ministry of Health requested, for objective reasons, the removal of this investment from the health component.\" The so-called \"objective reasons\" invoked by the ministry refer to \"difficulties encountered in the implementation process, as well as the need to recalibrate funding priorities in line with the specific deadlines and constraints of the NRRP.\" From a budget of \u20ac251 million allocated to pre-hospital infrastructure, the funds for this vital equipment have simply been eliminated.<\/p>\n
The decision to abandon this programme comes at a devastating time for healthcare. According to the National Institute of Public Health, Romania has the highest incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer in Europe. In 2022, the incidence rate was 32.6 new cases per 100,000 women, more than two and a half times higher than the EU average (11.7 cases). Equally tragic is the mortality rate: 16.8 deaths per 100,000 women, three times higher than the European average (5.3 deaths). Furthermore, in 2023, 2,888 women in Romania were diagnosed with cervical cancer, and 1,177 lost their lives.<\/p>\n
FACIAS recalls that Romania has signed contracts worth \u20ac26 billion through the NRRP, but has so far attracted only \u20ac10.7 billion, and projects worth approximately \u20ac6.3 billion can no longer be included in the NRRP because they cannot be completed by August 2026. If the authorities do not take action, another \u20ac10 billion risks being lost, becoming a new additional financial burden for Romanian taxpayers, who will be forced to bear the costs of procurement contracts concluded in advance by the Romanian state.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
