Hospitals will be reclassified into three categories by the end of the year, without closing any healthcare units, announces Minister Alexandru Rogobete.

The Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, stated that by the end of the year, hospitals will be reclassified into three categories: category I, category II, and category III, replacing the five existing categories. He emphasized that this process will not lead to the closure of hospitals, but rather to a reorganization of them at different levels.

During the Health Innovation Forum, the minister mentioned that the procedure for reorganizing healthcare units has been initiated, including the introduction of a new category of strategic hospitals. Rogobete criticized the current model of hospital organization, considering it outdated and not reflecting the complexity of medical cases and the needs of patients.
