Overview

• The campaign launched on September 26 with a €100,000 target to help fund a €388,000 equipment plan to restore capacity.
• The remainder of the cost will be covered by a conventional bank loan, with beds slated for oncology, hematology, geriatrics and internal medicine.
• Lenders receive 2.8% interest over seven years with quarterly repayments through Villyz, which accepts contributions from €1 to €10,000.
• The drive surpassed €25,000 by October 1, and participation is anonymous, so the hospital cannot disclose the number of contributors.
• Leaders say staffing and premises are ready after hiring about twenty nurses, and they describe citizen finance as a complement to traditional funding, not a replacement.
