HealtMin Achimas-Cadariu: I am frustrated by absence of Marie Curie Hospital investigation results

Health Minister Patriciu Achimas-Cadariu says he feels frustrated by the absence of the results of the investigation into the case involving infants hospitalised at the Marie Curie Hospital with an haemolytic-uremic syndrome. 

"I am very frustrated that we do not have the results of this special investigation, but I am not obliging anyone to provide other than the real results, and reality is what it is. The investigation was conducted along the exiting standard procedures. We have also called on our colleagues elsewhere in Europe and we will provide more details after hearings at Parliament. Parents are very much confident in the doctors here; we are all fighting for the children," the minister said on a visit to the Marie Curie Hospital. 

He added that if the investigation shows the doctors of Arges, the county wherefrom the ill infants came, were late in sending the infants to Bucharest, appropriate measures will be taken against them. 

The minister added that the Arges Public Healthcare Directorate will be investigated to see whether or not it acted properly. 

Achimas-Cadariu said no culprits should be sought now, but solutions for the healing of the little ones. 

He added that he did not come to the Marie Curie Hospital as a minister, but as a doctor, to encourage his colleagues. AGERPRES
