Ciolos urges medicine students of Cluj to restore trust in healthcare system when practising

Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos on Monday told students of the Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Cluj-Napoca (UMF) that he is expecting them to reclaim trust in the public healthcare system when they start practising. 

"We are expecting you as well to be able, by your contribution when starting practising, to reclaim together with us trust in the healthcare system. And that entails, firstly, honesty, having a spine and the courage to name a spade a spade," Cios said in a speech to the commencement of the new university year at UMF Cluj. 

He added that both the good things that have been done in the healthcare system should be presented, along with the problems facing the system. 

"I believe public pressure should not be let shadow the good things that have been done in the Romanian healthcare system, as you should not be pushed or reach a situation in which you are compelled to leave the country; you should say that highly performing professionals are made in the Romanian healthcare system who know their business very well, but at the same time we should identify problems where problems occur, and have a courage to talk about them and seek solutions," said Ciolos.
