ENGIE Romania continues to invest in Romania’s healthcare infrastructure, in partnership with the Dăruiește Viață Association, by equipping the “Sf. Ioan” Children’s Emergency Clinical Hospital in Galați with a state-of-the-art videoendoscopy system designed to enhance diagnostic capabilities in pediatric gastroenterology.
The new equipment will be used in the Gastroenterology Unit of the Pediatric Ward II and will enable faster and more accurate diagnostic tests for the children treated at this medical facility. The Children’s Emergency Clinical Hospital in Galați is the only pediatric emergency hospital in southeastern Romania, serving over 15,000 patients aged 0 to 18 each year. Until now, the department performed approximately 1,500 endoscopies per year, and the new technology will contribute both to increasing the number of examinations and to improving diagnostic accuracy.
According to Dăruiește Viață, the project is part of a strategic partnership with ENGIE Romania that has lasted over a decade, built around initiatives aimed at modernizing hospital infrastructure and improving the patient experience in the public healthcare system. ENGIE representatives, for their part, emphasize that the ability to undergo these tests close to home means less stress for children and their families, as well as better access to modern diagnostics.
The videoendoscopy system benefits both patients and medical staff through modern imaging technologies, advanced data management features, and an ergonomic design. For patients, this translates to faster diagnosis, reduced risk of error, and less discomfort during procedures, and for physicians, to operational efficiency and improved ability to track medical history.
The value of this project is 127,500 euros. Previously, ENGIE Romania and Dăruiește Viață jointly invested approximately 4 million euros in modernizing oncology wards, equipping hospitals during the pandemic, developing modular units, and supporting the construction of the Marie Curie Children’s Hospital—a project that continues today with the development of the Pediatric Medical Campus.
