"Mr President, the Romanian Government wants to use the new health law to privatise hospitals and the entire health-care system. These are measures which will virtually mean a death sentence for millions of Romanians. The role of the public health-care system is to save lives, not generate profit. In Romania 46% of the population live in rural areas, while only 9% of doctors work in the country. Roughly 97% of these are GPs. The rural population does not have access to specialist medical services, and a huge number of hospitals have been closed down in the last year. Turning hospitals into commercial companies is tantamount to banning a huge number of people from having access to medical care. The majority of Romania’s population are still on low incomes. Hospital privatisation would mean that more than 15 million Romanians would not seek treatment for want of money."@en1
