Romanian NGO is looking for healthcare professionals to join team of donation-funded pediatric oncology hospital

Local NGO Daruieste Viata Association is looking for healthcare professionals to join the medical team of the donation-funded pediatric oncology hospital that it currently builds in Bucharest. The medical facility is to be completed next year, according to Hotnews.ro.

“We are looking for a medical team capable of turning the dream of over 350,000 people into reality,” NGO president and co-founder Carmen Uscatu said in a Facebook post.

“We want a medical team capable of increasing the survival rate of a child with cancer from 50% to 70-80% in 10 years,” she also said, adding that the NGO is looking for “visionary people, working people” who “together can change the face of pediatric oncology in Romania.”

“We are looking for oncologists and radiotherapists who believe in their power to change the world. […] We are looking for well-trained medical personnel to save lives. We will be together in this hard fight,” the same post reads.

The Daruieste Viata Association, founded by Oana Gheorghiu and Carmen Uscatu, initiated the project of building a hospital for children with cancer in 2015. The construction of the hospital started in December 2017. More than 350,000 individuals and over 4,000 companies have supported the initiative of Daruieste Viata Association through donations.

Daruieste Viata also built a modular hospital for COVID-19 patients in Bucharest.
