Univ. Dr. Diana Paun \u2013 State Counsellor, Presidential Administration<br \/>\nSorina Pintea \u2013 Minister of Health<br \/>\nDr. Octavian Alexandrescu \u2013 Secretary of State \u2013 Ministry of Health<br \/>\nDr. Alexandru Velicu \u2013 NAMMD President<br \/>\nRazvan Vulcanescu \u2013 NHIH President<br \/>\nConf. Univ. Dr. Florin Buicu \u2013 President of the Health and Family Commission, Chamber of Deputies<br \/>\nEmanuel-Gabriel Botnariu \u2013 member of the Commission for Public Health, Senate<br \/>\nRomana Furtuna \u2013 Counsellor of the Minister of Health on the relationship with patient associations and NGOs.<br \/>\nThe NAMMD President has enforced the idea expressed by Sorina Pintea, the Minister of Health, stating the fact that the Agency is ruled by a young team, which has already identified most of the issues for which it is entitled to find solutions.<br \/>\nOnce again, Dr. Velicu highlighted the fact that the role of the NAMMD, as highlighted by Conf. Univ. Dr. Diana Paun as well, is well defined and assumed by all Agency specialists.<br \/>\nThe NAMMD is currently facing a real issue, mentioned by Conf. Univ. Dr. Buicu, a well-known situation which should be discussed publicly (reduced staff, implementation of the Unitary Pay Law, as well as the wish to avoid medicinal product recall or discontinuation in supply of the pharmaceutical market).<br \/>\nAs regards the cooperation with the NHIH, the President said he had met President Razvan Vulcanescu several times, which has led to setup of a working group aiming to identify possibilities for reduction of bureaucracy between the two institutions, which he had noticed back in the days when he was the NAMMD Vice-President.<br \/>\nTo conclude, Dr. Velicu reaffirmed his openness toward proactive communication with patient associations with whom, as he has already discussed with Radu Ganescu, the COPAC President, is about to sign a collaboration protocol, in view of establishing a partnership for identification of the association\u2019s specific issues and of practical solutions for their resolution, and in order to promote an ethical, correct and transparent environment for communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16.02.2018 To the attention of interested persons The National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (NAMMD) had the honour to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comunicate-de-presa"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8108\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anm.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
