Health Minister Victor Costache labelled on Thursday as fake news the information emerged in the central media, according to which he would have introduced under an order five private clinics on the list of hospitals participating in a national programme.
Costache said that most likely a draft [of order] was forged. The Health Minister said that it is easily verifiable, taking into account that the order was published on 10 January in the Official Journal.
"It is the biggest fake news. I even brought the minister order that can be seen on the website. The order of 10 January. You can see that Monza or Polisano hospital are not on the list. The accusation came up this morning and we will be very transparent and put everything on the website. It is an already published order. Most likely a draft was forged, it is easy to do it, but you see, we are on 30 January, we couldn't have corrected what was published in the Official Journal on 10 January 2020. It is a ridiculous joke within this fake news campaign. You see all the negative energies triggered by a honest programme of making the health system European," Costache said at Adevarul Live on Thursday. AGERPRES
