Ion Iliescu, the former president of Romania, has been diagnosed with lung cancer, an oncological pulmonary condition confirmed by the SRI Hospital and Agrippa Ionescu Hospital. He underwent an endobronchial surgical intervention shortly after the diagnosis. Over the following days, his health deteriorated due to the progression of the disease, leading to severe respiratory difficulties and an emergency surgery. At one point, Iliescu was reported to be in critical condition, unconscious, and reportedly on life support. However, subsequent reports from Agrippa Ionescu Hospital indicated a slight clinical improvement. Meanwhile, DNA (Romania's National Anticorruption Directorate) conducted raids at the Military Hospital 'Carol Davila' in Bucharest, targeting medical staff suspected of accepting bribes related to surgical operations. Iliescu continues to receive advanced medical care and remains in intensive care. Additionally, Traian Băsescu, another former Romanian president, underwent surgery in Paris, though details about his condition were not elaborated.
