Over 4,000 children in Romania have type 1 diabetes. The first university clinic for children with metabolic diseases is being launched
Published
In Romania, more than 4,000 children suffer from type 1 diabetes mellitus. This chronic disease occurs when the body no longer produces enough insulin, a hormone needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Statistics show that every year a significant number of children receive this diagnosis.
At the launch of a new campaign, Mirabela Grădinaru and Alexandru Rogobete announced the construction of the first Integrated University Clinic for Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases in Children in Romania. The aim of the project is for young patients to receive specialised medical care in one place, which brings together several medical fields.
The clinic will treat not only type 1 diabetes, but also other nutrition- and metabolism-related problems in children. Specialists say that correct treatment and regular monitoring of the disease can help children lead an active life. For parents, access to a nearby, well-equipped specialist centre is often an important issue.
The launch of the campaign draws attention to a disease that affects a growing number of children in the country. Details about the construction timeline and funding are to be established in the coming period.
