The State Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Alexandra Rogobete, accuses Brasov Mayor Allen Koliban of lying and distorting information about the pneumophthisiology hospital project. Earlier in the day, the mayor of a city outside Tampa accused the Department of Health of fraud after cutting more hospital units that were removed from the PNRR.

The State Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Alexandra Rogobete, accused Brasov Mayor Allen Koliban on Friday of lying “with cynical composure” about the pneumophthisiology hospital project, and says that the pneumophthisiology hospital will be built, not “thanks to his administration”.

“Coliban, that sandal-wearing mayor who stands ‘on watch in the rye field’, is a fantastic fellow. Residents of Brasov lie with cynical calm. Only lies have short legs! The hospital in Brasov was not built thanks to his rule! Why

– because the land on which the hospital in Brasov will be built is arable! Carefully!

– because although I periodically sent him addresses asking him to report on the status of the project, I received nothing.

– because he is so incompetent that he endangers the implementation of the project funded by the European Investment Bank.

– because he lies and misinforms for petty interests and is incompatible with what, in my opinion, the mayor should strive for,” said Rogobete.

The State Secretary of the Ministry of Health claims that the financing of the pneumophysiology hospital project in Brasov has not been stopped.

“Reality! Funding for the pneumophthisiology hospital project in Brasov has not stopped and will not stop. Moved to another source! I publicly appeal to USR Mayor Coliban: Sir, if you don’t want to help us build this hospital for the people of Brasov, please, from the bottom of your heart, at least stop confusing us!” Rogobete said.

Koliban accuses the Ministry of Health of fraud

On Thursday night, Allen Coliban accused the Ministry of Health of fraud and claims that the agency excluded hospitals from the PNRR without even knowing the stage or maturity of the projects.

“Fraud! Proof that the Ministry of Health has excluded hospitals from the PNRR without even knowing the stage/maturity of the projects,” the mayor of Brasov wrote on Facebook on Thursday evening.

Koliban said that in January, according to the assessment of the Ministry of Health, Brasov pneumophysiological hospital took 7th place out of 49 projects.

“Then he was both kind and mature. From then until today, the Ministry postponed the signing of the contract, but contracted other projects, with a lower estimate, but with the right political color. Last week, information appeared that, in order to cover up the incompetence of the government, which cost Romania huge losses from the PNRR, the executive authorities proposed to cut money specifically from “Health Care”, arbitrarily excluding from the list 7 hospitals, including in Brasov. The prime minister justified himself by refusing projects that “had neither a tender nor a study.” We have both,” the mayor of Brasov wrote.

He released a document sent from the Ministry of Health, sent on September 13, requesting data on the projects.

“Here is proof that they had no idea about the progress of the projects: an official document received yesterday from the Ministry! How do you explain that, Mr. Cholak? First you delisted us and now you ask what’s the progress? It is better to admit that you mainly provided money from PNRR, and European prosecutors are handling it from there,” Koliban wrote.

He claims that “deliberate loss of European money given to Romanian healthcare is a crime.”

“Someone will pay for this,” says the mayor.

Health Minister Alexandru Rafila explained on Monday that the adjustment of the PNRR reduced non-refundable funds in the health sector by 740 million euros, and added that it would be undesirable for our country to find itself in a situation of payment from the budget. amounts for some projects that could not meet the completion deadline.

The Minister of PSD also noted that these projects will be implemented at the expense of loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB), returnable funds, that is, they will be returned from the budget. He also noted that due to this aid, it was necessary to renew investments in the hospital’s infrastructure, and thus six investment projects were affected. (news.ro) (photo source Dreamstime)
