Health Minister Nelu Tataru on Friday announced that 1,000 persons will be employed in the next interval by the Public Health Directorates (DSPs) and another 1,000 by the Ambulances services.
He added that, however, the personnel is insufficient at the DSPs, which is why they failed to conduct all the necessary epidemiological investigations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and make all the decisions that needed to be made on spot.
"The personnel is far from enough and these people are working 24 hours a day. We are making efforts to remedy the situation. We will hire another 1,000 persons in these structures, which means 25 per cent. Also, we are going to hire 1,000 more people at the Ambulance services, because these services, too, need support in their work," informed the Minister.
