Pediatric specialist works in construction due to Romanian medical regulations
A medical specialist in pediatric oncology and hematology has been working as an unskilled construction worker in Tulcea for nearly a year due to regulatory barriers in Romania.
Mihai Grigoraș, a graduate of the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, returned to his hometown to seek employment at the Tulcea County Emergency Hospital. However, he was unable to secure a position because his specific specialization limits his legal right to practice general pediatrics.
According to the President of the Tulcea College of Physicians, Emilia Stamate, Ministry of Health regulations stipulate that specialists in pediatric oncology and hematology may only provide care within those specific fields. This creates a paradox where hospitals face a shortage of doctors while qualified specialists are unable to practice general pediatric duties in facilities that lack specialized oncology departments.
