The overall objective of the project is: Implementation of automation in the Microbiology laboratory, endowment with state-of-the-art bacterial identification and antibiogram equipment, as well as with automatic PCR technology. The general objective and the specific objectives of the project are closely correlated with the objective of the Health Programme and with the objective of Priority 3, thus aiming to increase the effectiveness and resilience of the medical system in critical areas of strategic importance with a cross-cutting impact on health services and health status. The essential role of a medical microbiology laboratory in a hospital is to establish the diagnosis of infections and the permanent control of the nosocomial potential in the respective healthcare unit, all the more so as the oncological patient is a fragile patient with severe immunodepression. The overall objective and the specific objectives of the project are closely linked to the objectives of Plan Na
