1. The Interior Ministry has just issued a decree forbidding Rumanian
medical men to treat foreigners. The only exception made is a case
in which the foreigner may require immediate attention and is unable
to find a non-Rumanian medical man. In fact, there are very few foreign
doctors in practice in the country.
2. In case the foreign patient requires several treatments, he is sent to
a different doctor each time.
3. These methods of reducing the value of medical treatment are intended
to keep foreigners away from Rumanian doctors. The Rumanian authorities
fear that, if doctors see patients regularly, they may supply information
unfavorable to the Communist regime, or may even serve as liaison for
foreign intelligence agents.
