The new solutions implemented in hospitals will connect to the national systems managing patient records and electronic prescriptions, financed by the National Health Insurance House, said Vreme.

In May, the Communications Ministry began accepting applications for Operation 3.2.4 – “Supporting the implementation of e-healthcare solutions and providing broadband connectivity, where necessary.”

Vreme mentioned the project to develop broadband infrastructure in disadvantaged areas, which will receive non-refundable financing of EUR84 million. The minister hopes to sign the contract for this project in November or December and implement it over 24 months.

Through this project, at least 90% of the 3,648 disadvantaged areas in Romania will be provided access to a broadband communications network.
