Asociatia ELPIS include printre proiectele sale campania de strangere de fonduri destinate refacerii cladirii si inlocuirii dotarilor Centrului Medical de Evaluare si Recuperare pentru Copii si Tineri „Cristian Serban” din Buzias, judetul Timis, afectat in mai 2012 de un incendiu care a distrus complet acoperisul si ultimul nivel al cladirii centrale.
Construit exclusiv din donatii si sponsorizari, iar mai apoi introdus in circuitul medical public, astfel incat tot mai multi pacienti sa beneficieze de tratament gratuit, Centrul a suferit pagube estimate la peste 300.000 EUR, in acest moment functionand in conditii improvizate si putand gazdui doar 50 de pacienti, care au fost mutati in cladirile adiacente.
Anual, in acest centru unic in Romania si chiar in Europa de Est, peste 500 de copii si tineri diagnosticati cu diabet si hemofilie, primeau tratament, faceau recuperare si invatau sa traiasca cu bolile lor incurabile.
Lucrarile de refacere au inceput deja, acoperirea cladirii fiind absolut necesara pentru a limita pagubele si a evita alte deteriorari produse de ploi si furtuni. Dornica sa dea o mana de ajutor, Asociatia ELPIS initiaza propria campanie de strangere de fonduri, astfel incat Centrul Medical de Evaluare si Recuperare pentru Copii si Tineri Cristian Serban sa poate din nou functiona, cat mai repede, la capacitatea sa maxima si in conditiile optime.

ELPIS Association is actively involved in a fundraising campaign to garner support for “Cristian Serban” Medical Center for Evaluation and Rehabilitation for Children and Youth Buzias, in Timis county, which was damaged by a fire that completely destroyed the roof and the top floor of the central building, in May 2012.
The Center was built exclusively from donations and sponsorships and then became part of the public health system so that more and more patients could benefit from free medical care. Unique in Romania and even in Eastern Europe, it could provide treatment for more than 500 children and young people diagnosed with diabetes and hemophilia annually. As the fire caused significant damage, estimated at more than 300,000 euros, the Center is currently functioning in improvised conditions and can accommodate only 50 patients in the adjacent edifices.
The restoration work has already begun with the reroofing of the main building, which is absolutely necessary to prevent further damage caused by rain and storms. Willing to give a helping hand, ELPIS Association has initiated its own fundraising campaign, so that Cristian Serban” Medical Center for Evaluation and Rehabilitation for Children and Youth Buzias can begin to function again to its maximum capacity and in optimal conditions, as soon as possible.
