Felicitări! Standards on NICU design are now available in Romanian

Thanks to the dedicated work of Architect Corina Croitoru, founding member of the Romanian Association for Long-term Hospitalized Newborns (ARNIS), and Professor Maria Livia Ognean, the three standards on NICU design have been translated into Romanian. This milestone was celebrated with a presentation at the Romanian Neonatology Conference, introducing the standards to a national audience and highlighting their potential to enhance neonatal care.

The Romanian translation represents a key step toward adopting these internationally recognised standards in Romania, aiming to provide the best environment for preterm infants. The standards’ release is especially timely, as Romania prepares for a period of hospital redesign and construction, creating a unique opportunity to integrate these guidelines into future NICU projects.

This initiative aims to inspire hospitals, architects, and healthcare teams to collaborate in designing NICUs that transcend superficial improvements, creating spaces fully optimised to support the best possible care for preterm infants, their families, and the dedicated professionals who care for them.
