The PALMED patronage disputes the statements of the CNAS president, emphasizing that the underfunding of the health system is the main reason why patients pay for tests out of their own pocket.

PALMED rejects allegations by Horațiu Moldovan, president of CNAS, suggesting that providers prefer to pay cash for medical tests. The organization underlines that chronic underfunding of health, with only 6.18% of GDP allocated, and the poor distribution of funds are the real causes. It draws attention to the impact of under-budgeting, which leads to late diagnosis of diseases. PALMED offers to work with the authorities to find effective solutions.
