Equipping the Emergency Receiving Unit of the Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children Cluj-Napoca in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

The general objective of the project is to increase the capacity to manage the COVID-19 health crisis by equipping with 258 medical equipment needed to combat COVID-19 of the Emergency Receiving Unit of the Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children Cluj-Napoca. Through its objective, the project falls under Priority Axis 9, Specific Objective 9.1 of the LIOP – Increasing the capacity to manage the COVID-19 health crisis with a view to ensuring a timely and effective response of the public health system to the COVID crisis – 19. Equipping the medical equipment necessary for critical patients is an important step in ensuring an effective response of the medical system to the current crisis faced by the Romanian healthcare system. The purpose of the project, equipping the Emergency Receiving Unit in the fight with Covid 19 with the performance equipment, leads to more accurate monitoring of parameters and implicitly to increase the performance of medical services. A performance medical equipment (ventilators supporting respiratory function, injections, mobile equipment for radiology, etc.) will increase the quality of patient care, will increase the chances of their survival and thus complete healing. This completely new condition – COVID – 19 -, which has many unknowns yet, has taken by surprise almost all medical systems in the countries affected by the pandemic, some with a technical-material and human endowment that is superior to the Romanian medical system. As the epidemiological situation will most likely continue for an unpredictable period of time, with possible progress towards exacerbation, we believe that it would be welcome to extend the medical equipment and equipment of the UPU within the Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children Cluj-Napoca, thus contributing to the provision of additional care and treatment capacity for COVID-19 cases and at the same time strengthening the capacity for timely and effective response of the public health system to the COVID-19 crisis – 19. The existing medical equipment in the equipment of the UPU is not sufficient for an influx of patients like that generated by the pandemic. Thus, it is clear that in the absence of financing of LIOP, the activity of the UPU is hampered, sometimes making it almost impossible to comply with the protocols specific to the pandemic. By purchasing the 258 medical equipment through LIOP, the level of prevention and care of patients becomes adequate and is the essential element for managing the health crisis, thus contributing to the achievement indicator 2S132. The equipment and equipment purchased by this project will be used directly both to prevent infection and to treat COVID-19 infection. In 2019, over 30,000 patients with pathology were consulted and treated in the Pediatric UPU within the Emergency Hospital for Children Cluj-Napoca.
