A new building which will host the tuberculosis department of the Arad Emergency Clinical Hospital will be built in the city in the next three years, with the financing of over 10 million lei to come from the Arad County Council.
Nicolae Ioţcu, the president of the Council of the County of Arad, and Gheorghe Maximan, the head of Arad-based company Tehnodomus, which won the contract for the designing and the execution of the investment, yesterday signed the contract for the works on the building which will be located on the Stephan Ludwig Roth street, in the neighborhood of Grădişte.
The surface of the new division is 8006 square meters, which will allow it to meet all the requirements to be authorized and classified according to the norms of the European Union. The hospital will have 112 beds, of which 50 specializing in pulmonology. The department will also have enough green areas to ensure the minimum requirement of 20 sqm of green areas/patient, according to the norms of the European Union for this specialty.
The contractor has the obligation to provide a project within 45 days from the signing of the contract, and complete the building within 36 months from the approval of the technical project.
The amount of the contract is 10,231,646.11 lei, VAT excluded (over 2.2 million Euros), money which comes from the resources of the Arad County Council.
Nicolae Ioţcu explained: "The county of Arad has a difficult situation in terms of the structure of its assets, as to what concerns the ownership of the buildings where various departments of the clinic are operating. The most important department - tuberculosis -, operates in a building which was claimed by its former owners, and returned to them and for which we have exceeded the five year-grace period when we could still occupy it and we have to leave. We have found a sympathetic owner and we will stay for now, but we have no other solution but to invest the County Council's own resources, in a plot of land located on the outskirts of the city, which will give us the opportunity to remove the tuberculosis department from the city, as required by European norms".
He also said that other departments of the hospital are in a similar situation. "Obstetrics and Gynecology" was claimed by its former owner, the "Psychiatry" department was claimed and restituted to its former owner and where we will pay rent for the next 1-2 years, the "Psychiatry" department of Căpâlnaş, which was restituted and where we are already paying rent, and the "Contagious diseases" department whose building was returned to its former owner.
Since taking over the Arad County Hospital, the Arad County Council has invested about 7 million Euros in the medical sector, using its own resources as well as raised funding.
