Summary sheet
Financing of investments designed to strengthen the Romanian healthcare sector and to improve preparedness and responsiveness to the COVID-19 pandemic and similar threats.
The project concerns the modernisation of healthcare infrastructure and equipment in several Romanian hospitals. The project is expected to substantially improve the quality of public medical services offered to citizens, at a time when the Romanian healthcare system is under considerable pressure from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
The project comprises of construction and refurbishment of selected healthcare facilities. The Bank's services will verify during appraisal the screening decision of the competent authority and the corresponding environmental impact assessments (EIAs), if any are required. In line with Directive 2010/31/EU, the new and rehabilitated buildings will have to meet at least the relevant national targets on energy efficiency. The design energy performance of the healthcare facilities and any specific related targets to be met will be verified during appraisal. It is expected that the project will bring wider benefits to the community as healthcare is an element of social cohesion and economic development.
