The Center for Diagnosis, Treatment and Research of Tuberculosis is on the short list of the 8 medical units being built in Romania with non-reimbursable funds obtained from PNRR.
The center is at a 75% completion stage and will be completed in August, after which it will be put to use by the “Marius Nasta” Institute of Pneumoftisiology.
The new medical facility built by Sector 4 will have a capacity of 115 beds, including 19 intensive care beds. In addition, the new hospital will also benefit from several functionalities, such as an operating block with 3 operating rooms, a central sterilization station, a medical analysis laboratory, a research laboratory, a pathological anatomy laboratory, an outpatient clinic, imaging and radiodiagnosis – ultrasound, CT, standard X-ray machine, CPU-S specialist emergency department.
The construction of the new hospital began in April 2024, on the land where the 130-year-old “Zerlendi” buildings of the “Marius Nasta” Institute of Pneumophisiology existed, in an advanced state of decay.
The new specialized center will serve not only Sector 4 or the Capital, but will address patients from all over the country.
This is the fourth medical facility that Sector 4 is building in the last 7 years, after the Emergency Reception Unit and the Section for the treatment of Major Burns at the “Bagdasar-Arseni” Hospital and after the construction of the dental clinic, operationalized today by the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital.
In total, in the Health chapter of the PNRR, the European funding program for post-pandemic economic recovery, there are 1,842 funding contracts on two components: health and digital transformation.
“The total budget of PNRR for these investments is 7.23 billion lei, of which eligible daily payments are 4.75 billion lei. The degree of absorption per day, invoices paid, is 66%”, says the interim Minister of Health.
