A Project for Romania, in Alba Iulia.
Construction Evolution
We are building a Medical Campus
In an area of 5000 sq m, with a ground footprint of 1700 sq m and a related land of 6500 sq m, for parking lots, green spaces, pedestrian walkways, playgrounds and outdoor therapy, with animals, for over 2000 children, annually.
The project came to life in response to the need identified in Romania by the family of teachers, Iulia and Sebastian Onac, after multiple hospitalizations in the country and abroad together with the girl Maria Beatrice, born prematurely and diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
There are more and more children who are born prematurely at risk. The causes are multiple, starting from pollution, stress, the daily rhythm and an unhealthy lifestyle to aspects of non-functionality, which are perpetuated in the Romanian medical system.
I want to support the construction of the first Medical Campus in Romania dedicated to the Premature Child, Prevention and Early Intervention

Why a Medical Campus dedicated to
Prematurity?
In Romania, in 2023, 155,418 children were born, of which 25,887 were born prematurely. Although the birth rate is on a downward trend, in the last 4 years the share of premature births has doubled, so that at this moment almost 2 out of 10 children are born prematurely, and the trend for the following years is to increase.
Children born prematurely need functional assessment and monitoring during the first year of life, and a percentage of up to 25%, i.e. 6472 of them, need specific therapy from the first months of life just to avoid the chronicity of certain conditions caused by birth premature.
The Maria Beatrice Association is building the first Medical Campus in Romania, dedicated to the Premature Child, Prevention and Early Intervention, for 2000 children, with a real identified need of over 6000, annually, thus responding to more than 30% of the need identified at national level , a relevant Project for Romania.
What the medical campus brings new?
The mother is the second patient next to the child
We integrate the child into the family during therapy
We introduce the sister and brother to therapy
We introduce pets to therapy
What makes us different?
In fact, the patient is the whole Family, the concept being that of Integrated Multidisciplinary Therapy with common Objectives for all the Areas of intervention, in which the Family is considered as a whole around the Child, precisely because the parent participates in the medical act, understands the whole therapeutic process, the transformations and the recovery potential, being our partner.
Double approach of Medical and Therapeutic Assessment during the first 2 weeks.
Steps | 7 Steps in Early Childhood Assessment | Staff Involved | Time allocated minutes | Total time minutes |
1 | Admission Questionnaire and Medical File | 3 | 10 | 30 |
2 | Evaluation of the video in the child’s family setting | 2 | 15 | 30 |
3 | Double Medical Consultation – Neuro/Fizio | 3 | 30 | 90 |
4 | Filmed multidisciplinary therapeutic assessment + Report | 2 | 60 | 120 |
5 | Case Study Commission – Multidisciplinary Team | 7 | 30 | 210 |
6 | Evaluation on the way – Program customization | 1 | 10 | 10 |
7 | Family Folow-Up Session | 5 | 30 | 150 |
TOTAL specialized staff involved | 23 | minutes 640 | ||
640 minutes = almost 11 hours of Initial Multidisciplinary Assessment for the development of the plan and common Objectives for all Areas of intervention.
The most complete and consistent integrated therapeutic package for Medical Recovery of the Young Child in Romania, with common objectives for all Areas of intervention, in one place.
Throughout the therapy sessions, the child’s schedule seeks to take into account the hours of sleep, feeding and the general dynamics of the child during the day, precisely to optimize the degree of absorption of the therapy.
The well-being and comfort of the family with the child, concerns us starting with the first day of activity in the Center precisely because the therapy “takes hold” when the mother is calm and the child is happy!
All of this is happening now at the Maria Beatrice Association, through the Maria Beatrice Center for Medical Recovery of Children, which has been operating for 14 years, with a team with expertise in the field of medical recovery of young children on a complex casuistry coming from all over the country.
What we are doing now is to relocate our activity, as soon as possible, to the newly built Medical Campus, much more appropriate to the intended purpose, for 2000 children annually!
Targeted medical services in the new Medical Campus:
diagnosis and early intervention
for the purpose of early intervention on possible delays in acquisitions (delay in walking, speech, socialization, difficulties in play) or possible neuro-motor conditions
gait analysis, vertebral static disorders, abnormal postures of the spine and legs, neuromotor disorders
cerebral palsy, tetraparesis, hemiparesis, monoparesis, paraparesis, coordination disorders, various neurological syndromes (West syndrome, genetic diseases), spinal cord diseases, post-traumatic–cranio-cerebral and vertebro-medullary conditions, peripheral nerve injuries, myopathies and diseases neuromuscular (muscular dystrophies).
vertebral static disorders (kyphosis, scoliosis, hyperlordosis), disc herniation (cervical, lumbar, thoracic), upper and lower limb deviations (genu varum, genu valgum, talus valgus, genu recurvatum, flat foot, congenital crooked foot, equine), rickets sequelae, tendon retraction
sprains, fractures, dislocations, hematomas, vertebral compressions, muscle contractions, etc
Medical and Therapeutic Specializations
Stage of Works
At this point
I. Body Diagnosis and Therapy
All heating/cooling air/water installations, air quality, sewerage, running water, electricity, heat pumps, recently Photovoltaic panels, are verified and tested.
We have all the medical equipment needed for the facility.
We have the complete medical team: neonatology doctors, pediatric neurology, pediatrics, physical medicine recovery and balneology, nurses, physiotherapists, Vojta, Medek, Schroth physiotherapists, hydrokinesitherapists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, speech therapists, VML speech therapists, occupational therapists, administrative staff and of management, with almost 14 years of experience in the medical recovery of small children.
II. Boarding and Boarding Corps
It is built and has direct access to the Therapy Body.
Two of the 4 facades of the Accommodation, the Reception and the Dining Hall are completed.
Now we are working on the external systematization of the land (walls to support the banks of the earth, taking and underground storage of clean rainwater (from 1700 m2 of the roof), we are setting up the outdoor therapy park with animals (dog and therapy horse), parking lots, green spaces and pedestrian walkways.
The building is energy efficient
The masonry on the outside is Ytong 40 A+, thermally insulated with polystyrene/mineral wool 10 cm, respectively 20 cm above the concrete beams.
The external carpentry (doors, windows) has 3 rows of glass (two air chambers).
The ventilation and dehumidification systems in the Pool Area, Showers, and Changing Rooms are equipped with recuperators and heat pumps with thermodynamic panels.
Water heating in the hydrotherapy pools, 12 showers, 25 sinks in the toilets and treatment rooms is done by heat pumps with thermodynamic panels.
Electricity is fully provided by newly installed Photovoltaic panels, the lighting is LED.
All investments are made from the funds obtained by the Maria Beatrice Association from donations and sponsorships.
