Regional hospitals and training centres with their staff, population in need of emergency services and care

The public health system in Romania still lacks profound reforms regarding financing, organisation, training and equipment. Due to the economic crisis, the resources available are insufficient and there is a migration of health staff to Western European countries. The national health authorities are keen to continue reforms but need external assistance in knowledge and funds.

The fund shall pursue the objectives of widening the access to public health and social services as well as improving the quality of health services. Expected outcomes are a high quality service delivery in paediatric emergency, a further professionalization of emergency services and replicable pilots of rural health services.

Priority shall be given to activities in primary health care, in emergency medicine and in paediatric intensive care. The three activities will be managed by Executing Agencies under the supervision of the Swiss Intermediate Body.

The expected results are:

• Regional hospital know to manage paediatric emergency cases professionally
• Training centres for emergency services are well equipped and trainers well trained by Swiss experts
• A number of local pilot centres in rural regions are working in community integrated health and social services
