Providing hospitals with modern technology remains a problem due to difficult procurement procedures. The statement was made for IPN by the Minister of Health, Labor and Social Protection, Ala Nemerenco, when asked to comment on a report by the People's Advocate, which said that most hospitals do not have monitors for patients in intensive care units.

According to Ala Nemerenco, "the procurement system treats major emergency medical equipment similar to wheels for cars". "I have talked to the hospitals and their budgets allow equipment procurement, however, the purchasing procedure is complicated and takes months", the minister said. In her opinion, changes to the Public Procurement Law are required in order to facilitate and expedite the purchase of medical equipment.

According to the report presented in April by the Ombudsman, Mihail Cotorobai, public medical institutions have old medical equipment, some exceeding 40 years of operation. Only 67% of the Emergency Receiving Departments and Units corresponded to the equipment endowment standards. Out of all Roentgen devices reported by institutions, a total of 34 devices, 65% have a wear ranging from 75% to 100%.
