Four years since
the terrible fire at the Colectiv club in Bucharest, which killed 65 people, a
special clinic for third-degree burns was inaugurated at the Emergency Hospital
in Timisoara, western Romania. This specialized clinic, the largest of its kind
in Romania, has five wards for this kind of patients, of which three have
already been rendered functional. The other two are to be opened by the end of
the month. The clinic has two operating theaters and special rooms for the
treatment of patients suffering from severe burns.

The Romanian Health Minister
Sorina Pintea, who attended the opening of the clinic, said that the unit boasts
top level equipment and facilities:




We
have a center for patients with third-degree burns that can treat them in
excellent conditions for this type of pathology. I’ve seen many such centers
abroad and I can say I am proud that our center is the same or even better than
those. It’s important that this week the centre will be ready to receive
patients, that it has doctors and nurses specialized in treating them, and that
the Health Ministry, the local authorities and the hospital have achieved this
miracle. Yes, this is a historic day.


Opened within
the ‘Austria House’ of the Timisoara County Hospital, specializing in severe
burns and multiple traumas, the newly opened clinic benefits from equipment
worth some 3.5 million Euros, bought with money from the World Bank. Another ward has been completed and is ready
to start treating patients in Iasi, eastern Romania. It has 6 beds, which add
to the 23 already existing in Bucharest and Brasov.

The health ministry also
plans to build a blood and plasma bank. The value of the investment, which will
also include two blood test and collection centres, stands at some 168 million
Euros, money that will be provided on the basis of a public-private
partnership.

Here is health minister Sorina Pintea again:


This
will help plasma collection, which will thus be fractioned and used to provide
the necessary amounts of immunoglobulin and plasma-derived products that so
many patients need.


The blood bank
will be built in Bucharest, and the two pilot collection centers in the north
west and in the south west respectively.
