The Government of Romania has expressed support for its first public-private partnership project initiated in the healthcare sector. The multifunctional clinic in Bucharest will consist of 636 beds, examination rooms, surgery rooms and research labs. It will provide medical assistance for patients with infectious diseases and its specialities will also include neurosurgery, cardiology and radiotherapy.

The commission in charge with implementing public-private partnerships has completed the substantiation study for this project. The construction of this clinic should be completed in 30 months and the private partner will operate it for 15 years after that.

The project is expected to draw EUR140 million (US$159.82 m) of investment.
