Increase the diagnostic and care capacity of oncological patients and their staff during the COVID-19 health crisis

Implementation of measures for diagnosis and prevention of SARS-COV-2 infection in the Oncological Institute “Prof Dr. I Chiricuta” 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. The emergence of the new virus took by surprise the sanitary units, including the one that is the subject of the project, in that the stocks of protective equipment as well as the medical equipment in the equipment were provided for a normal functioning of these units, not in any way for an influx of patients such as that generated by the pandemic. Thus, it is clear that in the absence of financing LIOP, the activity of health units is hampered, sometimes making it almost impossible to comply with the protocols specific to the pandemic. By purchasing protective equipment and 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 output indicator 2S132. Protective equipment and medical equipment will be used directly in medical activity, designed to prevent infection of patients and staff as well as to ensure laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 and clinical management of suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19. This will improve the care and treatment capacity of patients who are often the Oncological Institute of Cluj-Napoca.
