The Cluj County Council (CJ Cluj) announced that it won new European funding, worth over RON 15 million (some EUR 3.1 million), for the Cluj-Napoca hospitals involved in the fight against the new coronavirus.

The EU money will be used for medical devices and protective equipment for the four COVID-19 hospitals in Cluj, namely the Rehabilitation Hospital, the Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children, the "Leon Daniello" Pneumology Hospital, and the Clinical Institute of Urology and Renal Transplant, local Mediafax reported.

"From the money obtained by the county administrative forum from the European Union will be reimbursed no less than 238 high-tech medical devices and 358,189 protective equipment purchased by the County Council from the county budget," CJ Cluj announced.

Totaling some RON 15.3 million, the financing contract was signed on Monday, August 17, by Alin Tise, the president of the Cluj County Council.

"This European project adds to a similar one already won by the County Council in July this year when about RON 12.3 million were obtained for equipping the Emergency Unit within the Children's Hospital with another 258 state-of-the-art medical equipment," CJ Cluj noted.
