The EU grant, allocated through the Neighborhood Investment Facility (NIF) and amounting to 3 million Euros, will help to modernise the Republican Clinical Hospital (RCH). This is an extremely relevant multi-donor intervention, as only small reparation works were conducted in the RCH, constructed about 30 years ago.
With gradual implementation of the RCH reconstruction and renovation, the quality of its medical services will improve. It is expected that the number of in-patients per year will raise from 24,700 to 28,400 and the number of outpatient consultations – from 146,300 to 174,200, the number of beds will be reduced from 740 to 600, the average length of stay in hospital will decrease from 7-8 to 5 days and the number of nosocomial infections will be reduced by 20%. In the long-run perspective the waiting list time is planned to be reduced from 3.5 months to 10 days.
