Romania secures EUR 522 mln in EU funds to complete nine hospitals

The European Commission (EC) has approved the transfer of EUR 522 million in EU funds to support the completion of nine new hospitals in Romania, health minister Alexandru Rogobete announced. The projects have been moved from Romania’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) to the Health Programme 2021-2027 to ensure construction works continue.

“After months of technical work and negotiations with European institutions, the efforts that began last August have now reached a concrete result. In the coming period, we will sign the new financing contracts, allowing construction work to continue at an accelerated pace,” minister Rogobete said in a Facebook post.
