Romania's Health Insurance House president leaves office
The president of Romania’s National Health Insurance House (CNAS) Vasile Ciurchea has stepped down from office.
He submitted his resignation at the Government yesterday, invoking personal reasons, according to government sources cited by local Mediafax.
Former Prime Minister Victor Ponta appointed Ciurchea as head of CNAS on June 30, 2014. His term should have expired on June 17, next year.
Ciurchea had also headed CNAS between February 2007 and January 2009, until the former Prime Minister Emil Boc replaced him with Irinel Popescu.
The National Health Insurance House manages the Romanian taxpayers’ mandatory healthcare contributions and has a budget of some EUR 5.3 billion per year.
