BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Officials say a top Romanian health official has resigned after being criticized by the president for allegedly blocking health reforms.
Health Minister Ladislau Ritli said Tuesday he regretted the resignation of Raed Arafat, a senior official in the Health Ministry who is highly respected in Romania for creating a modern emergency health service.
Arafat's resignation came after he was repeatedly publicly criticized by President Traian Basescu over his opposition to government plans to introduce private emergency health services.
On Monday, Basescu accused Arafat of stirring up public dissent by saying that the proposed measure would make the system less efficient.
Arafat says the current public emergency service is efficient and that Romania's priority should be to save lives not money.
