vz. Klausenburg – A new regional emergency hospital is to be built in Cluj by 2026, for which the Ministry of Finance has now initiated the next step: The legal act on financing was published on the Finance Minister’s homepage, where it will be open for public debate for ten days. The new building is intended to replace the current emergency hospital; only two of the three departments for gynecology and obstetrics will remain at their current location. While this is in the city center, a plot of land on Avram-Iancu-Strasse in Sächsisch Fenesch / Florești was planned for the new building as early as 2012, about ten kilometers from the center of Cluj-Napoca.
A building with 849 beds on seven floors is planned, 744 of which are intended for acute care and a further 105 beds for intensive care treatment. In addition, 19 operating theaters, 70 outpatient departments, 15 specialist practices and 12 day beds for special surgery are planned on an area of 70,000 square meters. There are also rooms for lectures at the Iuliu Hațigeanu University of Medicine. The car park has 1,396 spaces and ten charging stations for electric cars, there will be a dedicated bus stop – and a helicopter landing pad for emergencies.
The aim is to improve the quality and efficiency of medical care for patients who need acute help – both in the area of secondary, i.e. specialist medicine, and in the area of maximum care, which includes cancer treatment or neonatology. The region should also be better prepared for future pandemics.
Costs of around 454.4 million euros are currently expected: 150.4 million or 33 percent of this will be provided by Romania – partly from the state budget, partly from non-repayable funds; the far larger share of 305 million is financed by a cheap loan from the European Investment Bank, which was signed on November 15th in Luxembourg. This is the second of three loans that the Ministry of Finance has agreed with the European Investment Bank to finance regional emergency hospitals, the other two are planned in Jassy / Iași and Craiova.
