SMURD Foundation acquires mobile intensive care unit following donation from Lidl Romania

The Department of Emergency Situations through SMURD Foundation, with the support of Lidl Romania, acquires the first mobile intensive care unit in Romania, worth more than 260,000 USD, which will be able to take over patients in critical condition as a result of SARS–CoV–2 infection.

This mobile intensive care unit on the structure of a truck can be moved quickly anywhere in the country, increasing the ability of the busiest hospitals to provide care to the highest standards. The ward will be located in the courtyard of a first-line overcrowded hospital, which can be connected to both the hospital’s electrical and oxygen networks and will be able to take over 12 patients with an indication of intensive care.

This type of mobile unit will be included in Romania’s disaster response equipment and can be used in any disaster situation that generates multiple casualties, such as in the event of an earthquake.
