General objective of the project: Protecting the health of the population in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, by investing in health infrastructure that contributes to the national, regional and local development of the system, reducing health inequalities, and strengthening the responsiveness of the “Marius Nasta” Institute of Pneumophysiology to the public health crisis caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with the non-discriminatory target group of the Romanian population and resulting in an entity equipped to manage the health crisis caused by COVID-19, with adequate capacity to care and treat cases of infection with SARS-CoV-2/health crisis management. The long-term impact of the project/The timely and effective response of the Institute of Pneumophysiology “Marius Nasta” to the COVID crisis – 19 SARS-CoV-2 is a virus with extremely high contagiousness, which has already caused an unprecedented health crisis and the death of a large number of people globally and in states of the European Union, including Romania. Given that limiting the spread of the virus, as well as its extremely serious effects on the Romanian population, can only be achieved by ensuring the availability of medical devices and devices, it is necessary to adequately equip the public health units in which cases of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus are treated. The Institute of Pneumophysiology “Marius Nasta” is a public sanitary unit with beds, with legal personality, subordinated to the Ministry of Health, according to Government Decision No 144/2020 on the organisation and functioning of the Ministry of Health, with subsequent additions and amendments. The activities carried out are as follows: provision of medical services, medical scientific research, medical evaluation and statistics services, university and postgraduate medical education, coordination of national health programs, capitalisation of research results and scientific and educational activities. The Institute of Pneumophysiology “Marius Nasta” has a great addressability, both in terms of the large number of patients treated, as well as the pathology addressed to it, with about 61.76 % of the hospitalised patients being patients outside the capital. The Institute of Pneumophysiology “Marius Nasta” includes clinical sections of pneumology, pediatric pneumology, thoracic surgery, ATI, oncology, medical analysis laboratories, functional explorations, bronchic endoscopy, radiology and medical imaging and pathological anatomy. The main problems identified in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: — There are no vaccines available and there is little evidence regarding the effectiveness of potential medicines. In addition, it is assumed that there is no pre-existing immunity in the population from the new coronavirus and that anyone is s
