office containing over 45,000 records of patients treated up to now.
For the benefit of our patients over 190,000 consultations have been made so far. At present, we offer approx.
800 consultations and medical services per month. The medication delivered free-of-charge corresponds to a
approx.300 prescriptions.

Until the year 2009 the medication came mostly from donations.

The principal donor was the Arc-en-Ciel Association, France. We also received occasional supplies from
Rumänien Hilfe Maintal/Germany and others.

“Farmec” C.S. of Cluj and Terapia Cluj have donated various sanitary materials, medicine and money to the
Polyclinic.

Currently, most medication is purchased through grant funds, based on Law 350/1, from the Department of
Medical and Social Assistance of Cluj City Hall.

Also, we receive donations of medicines and medical supplies from the Association "Christian Aid Ministries"
