It is with great pleasure to welcome our new supporting partner, โDr. Victor Babeศโ Clinical Hospital for Infectious and Pulmonary Diseases in Timiศoara. It is an important milestone in our “Go East” project, because until now there was no healthcare provider from Romania in our network. This great achievement is the result of both parties’ efforts, face to face and online meetings. As a first step the centre will join our interstitial lung disease and bronchiectasis core network, but discussions are ongoing to become a member in further disease areas. We are very much looking forward to future collaboration!
