The Bucharest Hospitals and Medical Services Administration announces, Friday evening, that over 22,000 children and adolescents in Romania suffer from mental illnesses, and the current infrastructure no longer meets the current requirements. That is why the institution signed a protocol for the construction of a new building for the Obregia Hospital’s Pediatric Psychiatry Department, reports News.ro.
“Bucharest City Hall and ASSMB – Bucharest Hospitals and Medical Services Administration focus their attention on a sensitive and extremely important subject: the mental health of children and adolescents. In addition to the amounts allocated every year from the local budget for this purpose, we make continuous efforts to attract new sources of funding that will contribute to improving the treatment conditions and increasing the quality of the medical services offered”, they wrote, on Friday evening, on Facebook , ASSMB representatives.
They state that the Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia Clinical Psychiatry Hospital, a reference unit in the field of Psychiatry, celebrated 100 years since its foundation and needs an infrastructure commensurate with the needs and hopes of the little ones.
“This week, the General Council of the Municipality of Bucharest approved a collaboration protocol between the ASSMB and the Metropolis Foundation for the design and construction of a new building to house the Clinical Department of Pediatric Psychiatry. A modern building, according to European standards, which represents a space of hope and healing”, the institution’s officials also conveyed.
They explain why this project is a priority: “Because thousands of children and adolescents in Romania urgently need specialized care. The current infrastructure is outdated and no longer corresponds to real needs”.
According to the quoted syrsa, the project is vital “because approximately 22,000 children and adolescents in Romania suffer from mental illnesses, and the current infrastructure no longer meets the current requirements”.
According to ASSMB, the new section will bring a major change:
- Spaces adapted to the needs of young patients, with modern and safe salons.
- Salons with 1 or 2 beds, each with its own bathroom and space for companions.
- Special areas for individual and group therapy, plus innovative socializing spaces at national level.
- Dedicated, secure spaces for patients affected by addiction to psychoactive substances.
