Romania built zero major burn treatment centers in 10 years since the Colectiv fire

No burn treatment centers were built in Romania following the 2015 Colectiv club fire that killed 65 people, the majority of them from hospital-borne infections, despite numerous promises.

On the evening of October 30, 2015, several hundred young people were in the Colectiv club in the former Pionierul factory in Bucharest, attending a concert by the rock band Goodbye to Gravity, which was launching its album Mantras of War. At 22:32, during the concert, a fire broke out because of fireworks on stage, and the flames spread rapidly within seconds. That night, 27 young people lost their lives, and another 162 were injured and transported to eleven hospitals in Bucharest. In the following weeks, more and more survivors died from hospital-borne infections.
