Description (EN): The need for quality health services for different and diverse fields of study is obvious for the population of Oradea and Bekes county. Oradea and Bekes polarize an important part of the cross-border area by ensuring a diversity of important vital functions for hundred thousands of citizens.
The health services on both sides of the borders in two countries included in the European Union, face common problems of exploiting the medical practice, the diseases and the mortality they cause, seriously decreasing the number of active population. The project is starting from the real deficiencies of both partners consisting in lack of or poor (outdated devices) medical endowment that leads to low number of medical services and low-quality health care services provided, which inevitably leads to the outsourcing of certain services to the private sector, services that should be provided in the hospital for the obvious benefit of the patient (without being limited to the economic aspect of the service provided).
Cross-border cooperation and its positive benefits are recognized and promoted by all relevant strategies regarding the territorial cohesion both at the European level and at the level of Romania and Hungary, enabling communities on both sides of the border to transform the border into a possibility for development. Based on this tackle, CBC-HOSPEQUIP aims to promote a sustainable health service on both sides of the border with the help of the latest generation of medical devices and by setting up joint protocols in terms of prevention, diagnosis and treatment through the telemedicine system that will be established both in Oradea Hospital and in Bekes Central Hospital.
The project was developed jointly by both partners, on the basis of their most important needs, each partner, being involved actively in the generation and development of the project idea. Each Partner contributes to the implementation of all the activities packages. The partners will cooperate to create a harmonious framework, each activity being oriented toward a cross-border impact (interships will be organised for the medical staff from both Hospitals).
Following the joint planning of activities and liabilities, a devised budget for each partner has been outlined, proof of joint funding. In this context, each partner will fulfill its financial responsibilities incumbent and the LB will deal with the distribution of ERDF funds to PP in accordance with the provisions of the financing contract.
The main outputs and results that will be attained through CBC-HOSPEQUIP project are related to the modernization/updating of the medical equipment and purchasing of new complementary medical equipment (devices that did not exist before) – 10 medical equipments (8 for LB, 2 for PP: 1 for Bekes County Central Hospital in Gyula, 1 for Bekes County Central Hospital in Szeghalom – NOTE: Bekes County Central Hospital is unified, as described in the Description of Experience of PP), purchasing and installing the telemedicine systems in Oradea and in Bekes Hospitals, the organization of internships for the know how transfer (6 for Romanian medical staff, 3 for Hungarian medical staff), 6 health-care departments affected by modernized equipment (5 departments on the Ro border and 1 on the Hu border), installing of Telemedicine System (1 system consisting in Hardware and Software components for Municipal Hospital in Oradea with terminals in all Guard Rooms of the Hospital on Corneliu Coposu Street no.12, 1 system consisting in Hardware and Software components for Bekes County Central Hospital in Gyula with medical imaging software licenses for terminals in Gyula – Békéscsaba - Szeghalom).Both medical imaging systems will be interconetcted using DICOM
3.0 standard.
Taking into account the commitment of both partners to play a key role in the development of health policies both at the local level and cross-border one, the attained results of this project investment will be operational and maintained on a permanent basis for the overall citizens from this cross-border region for a period of at least 5 years. Regarding the financial aspects, both project partners are public institutions – health care institutions - that are financially sustainable and that plan to develop the health services and infrastructure facilities. In this context, the necessary funds for ensuring the maintenance and furthermore, the development of the realized investments, are secured.
On medium term these investments will generate the multiplying and synergy with other initiatives and mechanisms in the field of health care services from the cross-border area, the improving of life quality and labour productivity, and as well the increasing of public investments in the health local systems. On long term, the impact of this project will encompass new patterns in conceiving and implementing of health public policies that overcome the national barriers, the emergence of a cross-border health community and the increasing of multilevel interconnections generated by the developed cooperation process.
This cross-border approach promoted through CBC-HOSPEQUIP project will generate a multiplicity of positive results and applicable and replicable effects that will have a multilevel profile. At the level of citizens, through implementing of CBC-HOSPEQUIP, patients will benefit from high-quality services / interventions, the recovery time will be reduced, the labor productivity will increase, life average will increase, early identification, prevention and quality treatment of illnesses will be ensured, easier and quicker accessibility of medical services in the eligible area will be facilitated, the ”the second opinion” tool will be possible through the telemedicine, thus contributing to a balanced system of treatment, which altogether has a positive impact also on anti-discrimination and social inclusion.
The knowledge of CBC-HOSPEQUIP resides in ensuring the conditions regarding the accession to quality–based health services and infrastructures, creation of baseline synergies for thinking an integrated cross-border health system, ensuring a diversity of high quality medical services and adequate equipped infrastructures for a diversity of needs, boosting the exchange of experiences in various medical fields as well in securing the sustainability and complementarity of the health local systems.
The sustainable development question was taken into account during all the stages of the project’s cycle and aims to translate into practice all the principles related to the sustainable develop concept. The lack of a quality-based services, in terms of endowment, enable only to few social categories to have access to appropriate diagnosis and treatment for different interventions that cannot be carry out in the region.

These achievements allow both the preparation of the medical infrastructure on the two areas across the border to stimulate the provision of improved, higher quality medical services, but also the translation into concrete results of this vision through the investments proposed in the development of a competitive medical practice.
This project promotes the cooperation in the health field, aiming at sustainable development for the entire region by cooperation, complementarities and sharing the experience and know-how.
In conclusion, the overall objective of the project directly contributes to achieving the specific objective under Ip 9/a “Improved preventive and curative health-care services across the eligible area
