General objective: Improve the response capacity of the health units in Arad County to fight the COVID-19 virus. The project “Improving the capacity of medical facilities in Arad County in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic” contributes to the result indicator of the programme “Adequate capacity to care and treat cases of infection with SARS-CoV-2/health crisis management”. If, prior to the investments proposed by this project, the care and treatment capacity of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients was not adequate, this capacity was significantly improved through the proposed investments as well as other investments. COVID-19 is a health crisis caused by the high degree of contagiousness and the extremely rapid spread of the disease. Before this crisis, patients with infectious pathology were directed to infectious disease wards where there were rigorous epidemiological circuits. The Clinical Department of Infectious Diseases of SCJUA was operating in an improper building, which is in an advanced state of degradation, so that in recent years difficulties have been encountered in obtaining the Sanitary Operating Authorisation. Arad County is currently implementing a project where a new building dedicated to this section will be built. At the end of March, the Adult Infectious Diseases Section was relocated to the building where Pneumology I and II functioned together with TBC compartments on Ludwig Roth Street, to isolate patients suspected or confirmed with SARS CoV-2. Also, in response to the problems created by the high degree of contagiousness, in addition to the relocation of the infectious disease section, epidemiological triage was organised and all medical and ITA sections were structurally modified in terms of locations to ensure the necessary epidemiological circuits. The division of sections to ensure separate circuits for COVID-19 infected and non-infected patients, due to the flag character of SCJUA, has in some cases involved the organisation of a section in two separate buildings, which is why it was necessary to supplement medical equipment to ensure the proper functioning of the section. The coronavirus can cause serious health problems or even death, especially when it encounters a weakened immune system and other conditions. The most common complication of SARS CoV-2 infection is Severe Acute Respiratory Insufficiency, a complication that requires support for respiratory function in sections of Intensive Care, the most vulnerable being the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions. As a result, part of the equipment needed to support including severe and critical cases, ensuring patient monitoring, maintaining vital functions and applying treatment, manoeuvres have been purchased.
