The Romanian Red Cross has launched a program to install semi-automatic external defibrillators in public spaces across Romania in a bid to improve emergency response capacity. The first defibrillator within the program was installed on May 13 at the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Information Technology of the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. In the coming period, additional devices will be installed at the Palace of the Parliament, Colțea Hospital, and the headquarters of the Romanian Red Cross in Bucharest.
