Tragedy in Iasi! Seven children lost their lives as a result of infections at “Sf Maria” Hospital: Poli Iași's fans initiated a protest
Seven children died at the Saint Mary's Children's Hospital in Iași due to a bacterial infection. The last case was a three-month-old girl, who lost her life in a hospital in Bucharest after the transfer.
Following these tragic events, the Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, announced the dismissal of the hospital manager, Maria Ionescu.
Poli Iași's ultras expressed their revolt on their Facebook page:
In exactly one month, 10 years have been made from “Collective”, the blackest event in the recent history of Romania, after which the main culprits for the authorizations given with their eyes closed, not only were not punished, but are still in the foreground of Romanian politics and what is worse, have supporters.
Then it was the fire from the Piatra Neamț County Hospital in 2020 where 10 people lost their lives, it was the fire from the Constanta Infectious Diseases Hospital where 7 people died, then locally was the fire from Cuza Voda Maternity and last week a bacterium that has killed 7 children.
Each time the Romanian ultras organized either protests. Either they showed messages that draw the same alarm signal: Carelessness kills.

The irregularities found at the Children's Hospital are just the result of the combinations made at the CJ level, where the auctions for the equipment are won by the spouses and the nurses are fine, niece or cousin. All state institutions are oppressed by such characters, and this is seen in the number of deaths in hospitals and the number of road deaths caused by the lack of infrastructure.
We do not wear any political color, we do not want to transform ourselves into court, we only ask to take measures not only in this case from the Children's Hospital Saint Mary, but also in all the hospitals in Romania, all the institutions, because the irregularities and miseries made by politicians can no longer be kept under the price, because they take lives.
