The heart hospital in Marosvásárhely was ranked first on the list of new hospitals to be built from the National Recovery Fund (PNRR), so it is certain that the 105 million euro investment will be realized. The deadline for the use of EU funds that can be spent on catching up in the health sector is 2026.

Applications for the construction of two health institutions from Marosvásárhely were selected for the Ministry of Health's list of 48 institutions published last year. In addition to the future Marosvásárhely heart hospital, there was also a plan to build a new wing of the Marosvásárhely Emergency Clinical Hospital. However, the latter was not included in the new list published at the beginning of the week, which included the investments that will definitely be implemented by 2026. Dr. Dr. Horaţiu Suciu assessed that the construction of the new heart hospital is also a recognition of their work so far.

"The fact that out of the 42 applications considered feasible in the first round, the application for the construction of the new heart hospital received the most points also means that our work so far is recognized and the specialists are given the opportunity to continue the work they have started under better conditions, with the help of more modern instruments. Maros county, Marosvásárhely, and the health sector will receive 105 million euros for the construction of the new heart hospital, we are extremely happy about this," said the doctor, who also works as a representative of the Marosvásárhely local government in liberal colors, and thanked the organizers of the tender.

At the same time, he also admitted that they have a difficult road ahead of them, there is still a lot to do until 2026, until this big dream of theirs comes true. It is much needed. The specialist in charge of the heart hospital previously said that the construction of such a facility is essential for several reasons: on the one hand, the current heart hospital, which serves the entire region, has long outgrown its current headquarters, and on the other hand, vascular and heart diseases are the main cause of death in Romania. The new heart hospital will be built behind the Marosvásárhely hospital that houses the current one. According to plans, there will also be a hospital for the treatment of burn victims in its neighborhood, for which a preliminary study is currently being prepared.
