Israeli Doctors Needed Romanian Ministry’s Permission To Work In Sabyc Clinic – Health Min

“No foreign doctor can come to work in Romania without the approval of the Health Ministry,” Bazac said.

The minister said the biologic material stored in the clinic will be checked together with organized crime prosecutors, as the bank which allegedly contains human eggs is evidence in the investigation.

Bazac said he cannot tell now whether the bank will be moved or will remain in the clinic, as decisions of this kind have to be taken together with the prosecutors.

Sources close to the prosecutors told MEDIAFAX Thursday that investigators are waiting for instructions from the ministry as to how the medical equipments can be moved and stored for the investigation.

The minister added he will verify the reasons why the National Agency for Transplants (ANT) authorized the clinic after so much time.

“We do not question the authorization issued by the agency, but we’d like to know why the document was issued that late,” Bazac said.

Contacted by MEDIAFAX on Thursday, ANT head Victor Zota said he didn’t know that Israeli doctors were working in the clinic and said that the Romanian doctors working there had the necessary documents attesting their qualification when he authorized the clinic.

Bazac said new measures will be taken depending on the content of the bank.

Private fertility clinic Sabyc was recently accredited by the National Agency for Transplants to perform in vitro fertilization procedures, after functioning illegally for three years.

Zota told MEDIAFAX Tuesday that if the Doctors’ College decides to halt the activity of the clinic’s doctors throughout the investigation period, the agency will temporarily halt the activity in the clinic until either doctors are proven innocent or suitable replacers are found to maintain the clinic’s accreditation.

If doctors are found guilty according to criminal law, the activity of the clinic will be halted until other doctors will be hired, Zota said.

The Bucharest Court decided Monday, July 20, to put three human eggs trafficking suspects under arrest for 29 days.

Bucharest Court judges decided to issue preventive arrest warrants against the chief of the Sabyc clinic, Harry Mironescu, his son Yair Miron and against Cecilia Borza, under charges of conspiring to commit crimes and organizing human origin cells traffic with the purpose of obtaining material gains.

The three appealed the decision and a ruling is pending on Monday.
