We are committed to support the health-related developments for Hungarians across the border. Accordingly, we actively contributed to the establishment of an invasive cardiology laboratory and intensive care unit equipped with CT at the Hargita County Hospital in Csíkszereda (Miercurea-Ciuc), Romania. The new unit will make it possible to ensure that in the future it will no longer be necessary to transport heart disease patients 100 km away, on local mountainous roads in order to receive appropriate patient care.
The Laboratory was created based on the idea of Professor János Tomcsányi MD, who is a chief of the Cardiology Department is one of our member hospitals, the Buda Hospital of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God. Consequently, we also play role in the training of local colleagues: the Cardiology Department of the Hospitaller Brothers’ Hospital and the staff of the St. Francis Hospital in Budapest plan to provide training and, in the longer term, local technical assistance to our Transylvanian colleagues.
