The new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Marie Curie Emergency Children's Hospital in Bucharest, a RON 100 million project financed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and private sources, is expected to become operational at the end of May or early June, Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete said.

"I visited the construction site of the new neonatal intensive care unit at the Marie Curie Children's Hospital in Bucharest, a multi-source funded project which, in my view, is an example of best practice. It is a RON 100 million investment bringing together funding from the NRRP Neonatology component, the NRRP Healthcare-Associated Infections component, the NRRP Digitalisation component, as well as private funds. Together, these have made this construction possible. In practical terms, it expands neonatal intensive care capacity by 20 additional ICU beds and includes an operating theatre, along with other facilities such as lecture halls, educational spaces and a medical simulation training centre, also financed through the NRRP," Rogobete said on Friday during a working visit to the new unit, agerpres reports.

He described the way the works had been carried out as a model of good practice for hospitals across Romania.

"This is an example of best practice for Romanian hospitals - exceptional management and a team that knew how to use every available funding source so that this investment could materialise. We have reached the point of completion just two years after the contract was signed," the minister added.
