The Minister of Health, Sorina Pintea, has teamed up with transplant surgeons

Sorina Pintea made outstanding remarks for her predecessor at the Day Organ Donor conference, which brought together important names in the medical world, based on the lack of donors – an issue of education, knowledge and which has never been addressed to patients and Romanians, apparently on the premise that Romania is not ready for these life saving interventions:

"I do not know what happened, you've seen it, according to statistics, the donations activity has dropped a lot." I say dramatically, because 60 kidneys or 40 lungs could save a lot of lives.I think that part of the guilt belongs to us, the authorities, because regardless of the scandals that were and were, we must admit, we should have stopped supporting this We should have had a law on transplantation before, to clarify what should happen, we should have stimulated more county coordinators, because we stimulated something else financially speaking, and that's a problem .

We should have more to congratulate Dr. Copca because he had the courage to do the first lung transplant, or we can support him because I think the doctors are expecting support, not necessarily a lot of them. Praise ". mentioned Pintea. In addition, the minister promised that in two months at most, he will come back with a new bill on transplantation.

Romanian law as well as Spanish law

"I do not hide that we were aiming at." We focused on the Spanish law that we find very appropriate for Romania, the current context, "said Sorina Pintea at a press conference organized by the Romanian Transplant Association (ATR) at the Fundeni Clinical Institute on the occasion of Donor's Day. d & # 39; organs.

Dissatisfied with the mandate of Victor Zota

Sorina Pintea briefed the former president of the National Transplant Agency (ANT), Victor Zota, recently removed from office.

"Personally, it seemed to me that there were not a lot of things out there." Apart from a few people, the rest did not do much, but the rest did not exist At this moment, the organization chart has 19 vacancies, the staff is anyway less.There is a need for budget rectification, additional income, which I have never asked for. is necessary, as we all want, including myself, but unfortunately, the online application does not belong to us, we have no control over it.These are details that make it all does not work, and most importantly, we need to communicate with those we coordinate with regional coordinators and county center coordinators, "she said.

Victor Zota lost his position as one of the most important institutions of the Ministry of Health and for his involvement in an egg trafficking case. Aurel Nechita, state secretary, said that Zota's dismissal decision had been taken as a result of audits of the Sabyc clinic's involvement in the egg trafficking investigation. "In all other cases of accreditation of transplant centers, there is a ministerial order, but at the Sabyc clinic, no," said Aurel Nechita. No statements have yet been made with the new director of the ANT.
