Radiologists Allege Exclusion from Diagnostic Center Bill, Send Letter to Parliament President

Published January 16, 2026, 19:26

Radiologists are alleging exclusion from the process of examining and shaping the bill for diagnostic centers, expressing fears of a degradation of medical practice and an alteration of their scientific status. In a letter to the President of the Parliament, they warn that the removal of the radiologist's institutional role from the bill will have negative consequences. The disagreement centers on whether the presence of a radiologist is mandatory during all examinations and in all facilities. Members of Parliament report that there are diametrically opposed views among the stakeholders and that the bill is necessary to tighten the control of diagnostic centers, which until now have been operating without a specific legal framework. The House Health Committee is at the stage of article-by-article discussion of the bill, with a limited timeframe due to the upcoming dissolution for elections.
