Doctors stress that, according to the law, parents don’t have to present a full set of tests for the children, before school starts
Doctors made an announcement to the parents, to let them know that the law does not ask them to make a full set of tests for the children, before school. Sandra Alexiu, President of the General Practitioners Association in Bucharest and Ilfov, draws attention that any such solicitation from an education institution represents an abuse. She reminded that any certificate from the general practitioner, except for those emitted after the examination of the child, in the medical cabinet, is paid for.
„The file for the school registration must contain a certificate that testifies to a child’s health. Actually, a doctor sees the child, determines that the child is healthy and states that he can enter the collectivity. Of course this has to happen immediately before entering the collectivity. That is why the certificate is valid for 24, maximum 72 hours, if a weekend is included. The one certifying the state of health of a child is the doctor of the community, according to the law. So, if there is a school doctor, then all children come to the cabinet, they are seen by the doctor and the doctor decides: the child can enter the community”, said Sandra Alexiu.
She also mentioned that only when a new cycle of tuition begins the student must take to school a more complex file, containing all data about the diseases he had had, if thatis the case, or about the vaccination status.
