Coronavirus in Romania: Patients at Suceava County Hospital, released at midnight, without being tested for Covid-19, according to media reports

While the new management of the Suceava County Hospital, the biggest Covid-19 hotspot in Romania, has resigned and the health minister said he would go there personally to check the situation, a testimony from a former patient shows the magnitude of the problems there.

A woman that has spent eight days in this hospital spoke to Digi 24 TV channel about her traumatizing experience there. She said she was released from the hospital at midnight and sent home without knowing if she was infected with the new coronavirus. This happened on the days when the medical crisis at the Suceava County Hospital broke.

“It was the week when the chaos started there and they were overwhelmed, the doctors were infected, I understand. The conditions were beyond reasonable limits. There were only two toilets at each level, without soap, without toilet paper, without disinfectant, in a section that is supposed to treat infectious diseases. Initially we were put together, those tested, unconfirmed, those with pneumonia and those confirmed with COVID. Two, three or four of us had to share the same room,” the woman recalled.

In Romania, nobody claps for doctors
April 4, 2020

As this article was being written, Romania’s death toll from the novel coronavirus stood at 133, easily surpassing Ukraine’s 27 victims, Hungary’s 32, Poland’s 71 or the Czech Republic’s 56, despite comparable numbers of infections in the latter two countries.

Unlike those in Italy, Spain or New York, hospitals are not overcrowded – so why is Romania seeing more than double the number of deaths than its neighbours?

It’s because another plague stalks the country, joining hands with the coronavirus. That plague is corruption, and unlike Covid-19, it is anything but new. Corruption has long been festering in Romania, and hospitals are hotbeds of infection, something which has become ever more clear during the current pandemic.

An unhealthy practice

On February 26, Romania confirmed its first case of Covid-19. Three days later, the general manager of the emergency hospital in the northwestern town of Baia Mare, Sorina Pintea, was arrested. A former minister of health, Pintea was accused of taking a bribe of 35,000 euros in connection with renovation works carried out in the hospital she managed...
