Arad County Emergency Clinical Hospital (Romanian: Spitalul Clinic Județean de Urgență Arad) is a major hospital located at 2-4 Andrényi Károly Street, Arad, Romania. The hospital serves the whole Arad County and neighboring counties. The hospital is a multipurpose facility with 1322 beds, being one of the largest hospitals in the country. It has departments that cover most branches of human medicine (including psychiatry or palleative care).[1]
The first salons of the hospital were opened in 1775. At the time, Arad was in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and therefore the hospital was partly operated by Hungarian staff. The original hospital was the actual Municipal Hospital, now part of the ACCH. The hospital's history remains uncertain until World War II, when the hospital was being used as a military hospital, as Arad was not a huge target. In the 1960s, the hospital was added an additional three floors, totaling five floors.
In the late 2000s, the hospital merged with the Arad Municipal Hospital (Romanian: Spitalul Municipal Arad), forming a hospital which not only treats patients from the municipality of Arad, but also from the county. This practice is done because in some parts of the county, the hospitals might not have the adequate equipment for certain procedures. In 2011, the hospital received a new air ambulance, as well as a helipad.[2]
In 2017, the local county council opened the new off-site pulmonology clinic after 4 years of construction. It is a 112-bed modern facility that houses the 3 pulmonology departments which were previously spread in old buildings across the city.[3] In 2023, Ioana Vornic, a doctor from the Hospital, renovated a ward in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department with her own money.[4]
