19.7 million RON from the NRRP for the modernisation of the Romanian healthcare system

The Ministry of Health has allocated nearly 20,000,000 RON from European PNRR funds for the modernisation of Romanian medical infrastructure, an investment that will have a direct impact on the quality of healthcare for older adults.

Priority for family medicine and patient safety

The funding focuses on modernising family medicine practices, which are essential for the primary care of older people. These investments will improve the conditions in which elderly patients receive routine consultations and health monitoring.

A significant portion of the sum will also be directed towards reducing nosocomial infections in hospitals, a particularly serious concern for older patients, who face a heightened risk of complications.

Development of integrated community centres

The funds will also support the development of integrated community centres — facilities that provide coordinated medical and social services. These centres are especially important for older adults, as they facilitate access to multidisciplinary care and reduce the need for multiple trips.

The investments aim to raise the quality of medical services and improve patient safety, both of which are crucial aspects of caring for an ageing population that makes frequent use of the healthcare system.

Continuous monitoring of progress

The Ministry of Health is ensuring the ongoing monitoring of funded projects, providing support to beneficiaries in meeting deadlines. This approach guarantees that the investments translate into tangible improvements to the medical infrastructure dedicated to the care of older adults.
