History and founding members

Hyperbaric Medicine, an area already enshrined at European and global level has entered Romania for a little while.

State medical Institutions, namely the Bucharest Aerospace Medicine Centre and the Moineşti Municipal Hospital in Bacău County, are equipped with two single-room baroque rooms, and their specialists carry out medical treatments through the process Hyperbaric oxygenotherapy. They are the spearhead, the engine development of this medical field

Private medical centers were also founded, equipped with multi-centre or Monoloc barrooms.

But This development of medical infrastructure has not been supported by legislation in the area of approval and operation of these centres. Neither from the point of view of the medical, auxiliary and technical staff, things are not regulated.

Thus, there are private medical centers that operate without a physician and medical centers operating with doctors of general medicine. Neither the minimum personnel structure of the hyperbarised medical centers is regulated.

Neither the minimum technical endowment of the bar is regulated, together with the auxiliary medical apparatus that must exist in a Hyperbar medical center is not currently regulated.

Neither the therapeutic method of hyperbaric oxygenotherapy is defined in the operating regulations of the Hyperbar medical centers, there are centers where the working pressure is below 2 ATA.
