Type:RecommendationSession:29th Session, January 2018Status:Partially AcceptedContents:Take active measures to prevent discrimination against the LGBTI community for example by including gender identity in the list of criteria of non-discrimination and making provision in law for same-sex civil partnership and marriage.ExplanationRomania partially notes recommendation 66 only as to the first thesis and brings to attention that Government Ordinance no. 137/2000 on preventing and sanctioning all acts of discrimination contains an open list of discrimination criteria as the law refers to any other criteria that can lead to an undue restriction of rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social and cultural field. With regard to the second thesis, there is no legal obligation to legalize same-sex marriage and currently there are two draft laws pending that deal with legal partnership, including for same-sex couples. -

- HIV and AIDS
Type:RecommendationSession:15th session, February 2013Status:AcceptedContents:Implement measures to eliminate discrimination against minority groups, in particular the Roma and children in vulnerable situations, including children with ... HIV/AIDS ... guarantee their access to education, housing, medical care and health services.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 69) In Romania, the persons having HIV or AIDS are legally perceived as persons with disabilities. Thus, they benefit from all protective measures specifically aimed at this mentioned group. HIV-positive pregnant women are monitored in nine Regional HIV Infection Surveillance Centers where, after HIV infection has been confirmed, any person, regardless of age, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, is recorded, clinically and biologically monitored and provided specific antiretroviral therapy immediately after diagnosis. The management of HIV-positive child and adolescent patients complies with the 2013-2014 Guidelines for ARV Therapy, containing a separate chapter for this age group. Between May 2014 and August 2016, ‘Prof. Dr. Matei Balș’ National Institute of Infectious Diseases from Bucharest, as Project Promoter, under the coordination of the Ministry of Health as Program Operator, implemented the project ‘Improving HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis B and C Prevention and Control in Romania”, as part of the 2009-2014 Norwegian Financial Mechanism.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 31) JS3 stated that health care units refused to treat women living with HIV for obstetrics and gynaecological needs, leading to cases when patients did not receive adequate medical treatment, resorted to self-medication or unsafe abortion, were subject to discrimination and did not declare their HIV status when accessing healthcare services. Cases of discrimination against persons living with HIV in healthcare services remained unpunished and undocumented.

- Maternal health / morbidity / mortality
Type:RecommendationSession:15th session, February 2013Status:AcceptedContents:... Also strengthen prenatal and postnatal services, implementing additional programs on maternal breastfeeding and hygiene for the development and survival in early childhood.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 13) Law 207/2016 on marketing of breast-milk substitutes, translating fully into the Romanian legislation the International Code and creating hopefully a good example for other countries in the European Union (EU) to protect health of mothers, infants and young children.
Para 108) First specific objective of the National Health Strategy refers to "Improving the health and nutrition of mother and child and reducing the risk of maternal and infant death". For the medical assistance of the premature children, the Ministry of Health introduced a regionalized system of care in order to guarantee each neonate is born in a medical unit that can provide appropriate services, in order to reduce this significant part of the infant mortality. Training programs for professionals involved in mother and child care, including the establishment in 2016 of a center of excellence for prenatal pathology within the National Institute for Mother and Child Health from Bucharest, are targeting the same objective. Genetic malformations are the third cause of death in children. To increase the prenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling capacity, the Ministry of Health has organized at national level 6 regional centers of medical genetics, financed by the government funds, through the national health programs.
