The head of CNAS announces the competition for the positions of general directors of the county health centers
The President of the National Health Insurance Company (CNAS), Horatiu-Remus Moldovan, declared on Sunday evening that in June the competition for the positions of general directors of the county health centers will be held, stressing that “it will be a fair competition, without political or other interference”.
“The social health insurance system continues the streamlining process. This time, we are talking about the streamlining of human resources and the consolidation of professional management at the level of the 43 health insurance companies. We continue to increase the transparency of this institution, because a modern health system is based on trust between all the actors involved, namely the patient, the doctor and the institutions. After balancing the balance between income and expenses, between the number of those who contribute and those who benefit from medical services, stability and total involvement are needed of system managers at the level of health insurance companies. Therefore, CNAS is organizing a competition for the positions of general directors of Health Insurance Companies”, announced the head of CNAS, on Sunday, according to Agerpres.
The contest will take place on June 18, at 10:00 a.m. (written test) and June 23 (interview), after completing the stages of submitting files (until June 4, at 5:00 p.m.), verifying them (until June 9) and resolving any objections (June 10-11).
Details can be found in the official announcement of the competition, posted on the website www.cnas.ro, in the “Public information” section, sub-section “Vacancies”.
“The civil servant status should no longer be used as a means of holding a leadership position for life”
“It will be a fair contest, without political or other interference. The health insurance system needs competent directors, who can be evaluated objectively, based on performance criteria – the only criteria according to which they will answer to the CNAS during their mandates”, the head of the CNAS pointed out.
Access to the competition rooms will be secured with the support of specialized institutions in this field, the interviews will be audio-video recorded, and civil society – patient associations, professional associations or any entity interested in observing the rules – will be able to participate as an independent observer.
“In the next stage, we will continue to streamline human resources at the lower echelons as well, so that the civil servant status will no longer be used as a means of holding a leadership position for life. We will open the access of professionals to the social health insurance system. A modern health insurance system needs experienced doctors, pharmacists, economists and IT specialists, dedicated to the public service. We can no longer claim that a civil servant who can do everything in one system so complex. We need the strengthening of the IT department that manages one of the most complex IT systems of the Romanian state, as well as the strengthening of the audit, control and fraud prevention structures in the system, as well as the establishment of a pharmacoeconomics department. (…) I encourage all professionals who want to contribute to the modernization of the health system to join the development of a more efficient, more transparent and closer to people's health insurance system”. Moldovan also transmitted.
