The Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit and the Angiography Office of the Institute for Emergency Medicine were inaugurated following extensive renovation. The cost of renovation amounted to 41.5 million lei, with the money having been provided by the World Bank and from the state budget, IPN reports.

The Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit will have nine beds and will provide medical assistance to all the patients in critical condition, with polytrauma, with cardiovascular diseases or who had a stroke, being outfitted with modern equipment.

The Angiography Office was outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of vascular diseases. Thus, the solving of complicated cases of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases will take place faster and more efficiently.

Attending the inaugural event, Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu noted that for the patient to go home happy, the treating doctors must find the best tools and ways to intervene and the equipment is surely important. “Even the name Emergency already implies extraordinary mobilization, a timely intervention so that, in the end, we talk about saving people’s lives and making them healthy,” stated Igor Grosu.

A total of €187.2 million was allocated through the World Bank’s project and the money was used to renovate 11 Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Units across the country.
