A Project for Romania, in Alba Iulia.
Our story
Maria is a little girl born prematurely having asphyxia at birth so she is neuromotor impaired, a few minutes make the difference.
After 320 days of hospitalization in the first 2 years of Maria Beatrice's life, in Romania, Ukraine, Germany, we understood the limitations of the Romanian medical system and the need in Romania for medical services dedicated to the premature newborn child, prevention and early intervention from the first months of life, where the family is part of the whole therapeutic process.
So in 2011 we founded the Maria Beatrice Association and Center for Medical Recovery for Children, a center that besides our little girl now provides medical recovery and long term therapy annually for 700 children across the country with conditions caused by premature birth, post-traumatic and post-operative.

Now, through the Maria Beatrice Association, we are building in Alba Iulia, from donations and sponsorships, the First Medical Campus in Romania, dedicated to the Premature Newborn Child, Prevention and Early Intervention, for 2000 children per year, the concept being that of Multidisciplinary Integrated Therapy, in which the Family is considered as a whole around the Child, precisely because the parent participates in the medical act, understands the entire therapeutic process, the transformations and the recovery potential.

“Today’s” parents are informed, most of the time they are reactive and very well informed, therefore they have absolutely objective opinions in the medical and therapeutic approach of their child. We are interested in these opinions, which have also helped us to develop over the years, as the parent is a partner in an appropriate medical and therapeutic approach.
The Romanian hospital environment is generally disturbed by parents’ opinions. The therapeutic approach is a one-way street, a fast-forward and often without understanding the whole emotional picture, often even the medical one.
Premature births are specific to titrated societies and accidents are not selective either, so we should not question the ability of many parents to acquire appropriate medical knowledge and behavior.
There are parents who study medicine for their children and there are us who build a Medical Campus for our little girl.
This is what we do fundamentally different, Family is at the Center!
As Maria Beatrice’s parents and founders of the Center, we represent the foundation of all that happens and the spirit of the Center’s therapists, chosen people, is that of high consciousness.
Maria Beatrice is 16 years old, she doesn’t walk and doesn’t speak, she is beautiful and smart, and her parents, through Maria Beatrice Association, are building, from donations and sponsorships, the First Medical Campus in Romania dedicated to the Premature Newborn Child, Prevention and Early Intervention, for 2000 Children, annually, as we wished we could have had for our little girl, in her first months of life.
We wish that together, in all the years to come, we will do a lot of good to our fellow human beings!
