Romanian family doctors will not sign the new frame-contract with the National Health Insurance House unless it is adopted in the form agreed with the Health Ministry.

Romanian suppliers of ambulatory care, including recuperation-rehabilitation and dental medicine, will be required to hold ISO quality certificates by December 31, 2011, according to the draft frame-contract on healthcare.

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc said Saturday the Health Ministry will hold negotiations with family doctors to solve the issues regarding the country’s new frame contract on the provision of medical assistance in 2010.

Romanian family doctors countrywide threaten to close down their cabinets as of April 1, for an unlimited period, until concrete negotiations with respect to the frame contract on the provision of healthcare services in 2009.

Romanian family physicians must team up with at least one medical assistant irrespective of the number of patients registered on their lists, according to a draft frame-contract on the provision of healthcare services in 2008, health minister Eugen Nicolaescu said Thursday.
