131 Romanian hospitals will be equipped with telemedicine systems for the emergency services
131 Romanian hospitals will be equipped with telemedicine systems for the emergency services, in a project developed by The World Banck, of almost 40 million lei. The health ministry announced the auction for buying such systems that will contribute to easier access to medical care, reducing geographical barriers and fast examination in emergency situations.
Health minister Alexandru Rafila said that with the help of technology doctors will be able to evaluate the patients’ symptoms, to offer advice and instructions for first aid and decide immediately the medical conduct for patients, until they arrive at a hospital. This kind of telemedicine can save precious time in critical situations and can be very useful where access to medical assistance is limited, Alexandru Rafila said.
The 24th edition of the “Enescu and The Music of The World” International Festival began in Sinaia
The 24th edition of the “Enescu and The Music of The World” International Festival began yesterday in Sinaia. Along with masterpieces of the great Romanian composer, the festival will present works by Brahms, Bizet and Bach. Marin Cazacu, cello player and founder of the project, underlined the importance of this event in the Romanian cultural context.
Marin Cazacu: Two things are essential: the fact that it is called “Enescu and The Music of The World”, this means that we have George Enescu’s music played by very young musicians; some of them have started their carriers in Sinaia and afterwards even became winners of the George Enescu international contest. We know very well that George Enescu was born on August 19th, and 24 years ago, in Romania, this date was in no way celebrated, and George Enescu’s memory was ignored. But this festival was started on the idea to build a festival for the young generation because there, in Sinaia, George Enescu built a house. He was supported by the royal family and also offered lessons to great artists of the world, in that exact same artistic place that Sinaia became.
