"There is much to be done in the public healthcare system. Romania needs EUR2 billion just to endow hospitals with modern medical equipment to reach the basic level of equipment in EU hospitals. It’s impossible to fix that in just one year, but we can certainly move in that direction," Bazac said.

Bazac added investments in public healthcare will continue, despite economic hardships.

"We will contribute about EUR70 million to endow hospital intensive care units in 2009. Also this year, we will invest, together with the World Bank, over EUR10 million to equip emergency rooms in small hospitals across the country,” Bazac said.
