Through a EUR 100.000 sponsorship from Vodafone Romania, eight SMURD ambulances from Mures county were endowed with medical equipment (automate external defibrillation and monitoring devices) and communications equipment enabling “live” transmission of the medical parameters from SMURD ambulances to the National 112 dispatch, as well as to the SMURD Emergency room from Targu Mures Emergency Hospital.
By the end of 2006 the same telemedicine solution was implemented also in Dolj, Hunedoara, Cluj, Sibiu counties and in Bucharest. SMURD branches from Timis, Iasi and Bihor counties will follow in 2007.
“Partnership for life is one of the most valuable corporate responsibility initiatives that Vodafone Romania has ever supported. This program strengthens our traditional partnership with SMURD, which is aimed at ensuring proper resources for saving people’s lives” - Liliana Solomon, Chief Executive Officer Vodafone Romania.
“The results that prove telemedicine solution’ s efficiency raised up in less than one month after the project’s launching, when the SMURD ambulance from Iernut saved the first human live thanks to a “live” transmission done with the new equipments” - Dr. Raed Arafat, SMURD Coordinator

Emergency interventions vehicle for multiple victims’ accidents and natural disasters
In May 2006 through a EUR 280.000 sponsorship from Vodafone Romania, SMURD acquired an emergency interventions truck for multiple victim’s accidents and natural disasters. This is the most complex rescue solution available in Romania and the first one of its kind.
The truck and its medical staff can offer immediate medical assistance to minimum 50 persons, in case of multiple victims’ accident (airplane crash, bus accident, a derailed train), natural calamities (floods, earthquake). The truck contains: medical equipment to ensure and monitor vital signs, heavy extrication equipment, blankets and tents sheltering minimum 50 persons, intensive therapy beds, heating systems, communications equipment, illuminating system and power generator, water collector, and other special equipments. The emergency truck can be sent to the accident/disaster site following the order of National 112 Dispatch and the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations. At the same time, an emergency command dispatch is immediately being created, keeping in touch with the Ministry of Administration and Interior, hospitals, firemen and doctors teams.
“We are very glad that, thanks to Vodafone Romania’s support, we were able to acquire this complex equipment that significantly improve our response capacity to natural disasters, multiple victims accidents and other emergency situations” – Dr. Raed Arafat, SMURD Coordinator
