Romania's Health minister, Cseke Attila sustained a press confrence regarding the tragedy at the Giulesti maternity. Read in the article the minister's main declarations.
- A family with one dead child will receive an aid of 5000 lei and a family with affected children will receive 3000 lei
- We decided, together with the Interior ministry to check the way hospitals are ready for a fire
- We urge Bucharest city hall Sorin Oprescu to dismiss the management of the Giulesti Maternity, considering that the hospital is under the subordonation of the city hall
- The Health ministry does not have any attribution over the hospital
- The Health ministry took measures every time it was necessary to and the city hall should do the same
- I regret to see this subject politicized
- Medically, there was not lack of medicine or lack of sanitary materials
- Morally, I think it is a responsibility of the ministry and that is why I considered the idea to resign
- I think you should call for the resignation in another part, namely all those in the hospital's management
- 5000 lei are not enough, and it is not meant to buy the people's suffering
