Romania needs to increase its neonatal intensive care unit beds by 25-30% over the next 3-4 years to prevent critical situations for newborns. Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete highlighted the current capacity of 95-104 beds, which was expanded by 120 through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. He emphasized that not all complicated cases require transfer to specialized centers, as some can be managed in lower-tier maternity hospitals. Rogobete believes that a gradual increase in capacity will help avoid dramatic situations in the future. Additionally, over the past two years, more than 36 maternity hospitals have been upgraded with European funds.
