[Screening for diabetic retinopathy in Romania]

The survey proposes the analysis of the Romanian implementation of the action: "Protocol for screening of diabetic retinopathy in Europe" (London, 1990). Based on the answers obtained after spreading a typical questionnaire, it was constated that the protocol's implementation was done in 9 sanitary profilated units and implied a percentage of patients less then 4%. Some of the difficulties mentioned were the insufficiency of (photocoagulation) devices, of funds and adequate (qualified) staff, and also the inertia of the old evidencing system.
