Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete said on Tuesday that Romania still needs at least one more Center for Major Strokes in Bucharest, after the one currently under completion in Timisoara, which is the first in the country built in the post-communist period.

"Mr. President of Romania, the Major Burns Center in Timisoara is just the beginning, because Romania still needs at least one more serious burns hospital, in Bucharest, and we hope that together with the World Bank we can start this project in the near future," said Alexandru Rogobete in Timisoara.

The Minister of Health visited, on Tuesday, the Major Burns Center within the Timisoara County Hospital, together with President Nicusor Dan and the Minister of Investments and European Projects of Romania, Drago Pîslaru.

The new Major Burn Center in Timisoara, which will become operational at the end of this year, will be a complex one, equipped with a large number of anesthesia beds, intensive care, operating room and specialized staff.

The new hospital unit, which will not only treat major burns, will have 27 new ICU beds, which will comply with all international standards and will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, an operating room with 25 operating rooms and 58 positions in the Emergency Department (EDU). The building will be interconnected with the old building of the County Hospital, with the Orthopedics building, and will be the most important medical center in the region.

"We are talking about complexity both in terms of infrastructure, equipment and medical flows that are respected in this center. Not only a burn center will operate here. The burn center, a complex ICU and a complex operating room will operate, along with a modernized emergency admission unit adapted to the needs of the years we live in. The staff that operates in the current Burn Center in Casa Austria (of the County Hospital - ed.) will work here. Casa Austria benefited, also through a program with the World Bank, from training in Paris or Germany, from training for doctors and nurses or auxiliary staff. This staff will relocate to the new building, certainly that they will benefit from specific training for the new equipment that will be installed and certainly that the flows and the entire administrative management area of ??the unit and the center will be part of the training", explained Alexandru Rogobete on the occasion of the previous visit to this construction site.

The investment for the construction of the Major Injuries Center in Timisoara benefits from 60 million euros and is carried out by the Ministry of Health, with financing from the World Bank.
