Bucharest Hospital Manager Sacked After Patients Became Infected From Minor Surgeries

The Health Ministry has closed down three sections of Bucharest’s CFR 2 Hospital for investigation, after two female patients who underwent minor surgery there on Tuesday night developed severe infections. The hospital is part of the Transport Ministry’s sanitary network, but also treats outside patients.

Amelia Antoniu, 36, first soloist of the National „Ion Dacian” Operetta Theater, and Alice Roxana Preda, 35, were rushed from the CFR 2 Hospital to the Bucharest Emergency University Hospital on Tuesday night. They were both admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition, with acute respiratory issues.
