The Romanian government has approved the reimbursement of psychological services for cancer patients, thus recognizing the importance of emotional support in oncological treatment.

The measure, proposed by the Ministry of Health and CNAS, removes financial barriers and allows cancer patients to access reimbursed psychological services, recognizing that cancer treatment also includes emotional support. Until June 30, 2026, patients can benefit from these services upon the recommendation of doctors, and after this date, only psychologists trained in psycho-oncology will provide support. The Minister of Health emphasizes that psychological support is essential for a better quality of life for patients.
