Carmen Uscatu: Hospitals Don’t Save Lives. Systems Do
Carmen Uscatu, Founding Member and President of Give Life, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Don’t know how? Ask someone who does.
11%. Survival gap for Romanian children with cancer versus Western Europe. In a high-income country, this isn’t poverty. It’s preventable loss.
We, Dăruiește Viață, built infrastructure, at Marie Curie Children’s Hospital—for multidisciplinary care. But hospitals don’t save lives. Systems do. Systems built by people.
When I didn’t know how to fix systems, I asked the best. Partnered with Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie. Started learning in 2023. Earned a Master’s in Global Child Health at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital , thesis focused on patient-centered care through sustained quality improvement.
Implementation begins now. August launches needs assessment at Marie Curie with doctors and nurses. I don’t know how it’ll work. But when I don’t know, I ask.
Wish me luck.”
