History
Floreasca is the first institution specialized in providing emergency medicine. It has been opened in 1933, specifically for this purpose. Initially, the hospital was funded by Nicolae Minovici, a Romanian professor.
In August 24, 1944, the hospital building has been destroyed during the Bombing of Bucharest.
In 1949, a new building has been built for the hospital. The building, although renovated a few times, is still operational today.
In 1960, the building has been substantially modified, and 7 new floors have been added.
Floreasca today
The hospital has 760 beds for patients. It has multiple operating theaters and has sections for all the major branches of medicine (including psychiatry).
The hospital has been the pioneer for many pilot projects in the field of medicine. It has been one of the first hospitals in Romania to perform robotic surgery on a patient.
Floreasca is also a teaching hospital.
