The Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest conducted its sixth annual prevention campaign, ‘Asumă-ți să fii sănătos!’, along the southern Romanian coast. Between August 10 and August 15, 2026, a team of 46 volunteer doctors, including residents, specialists, and primary physicians, provided 4,214 free medical consultations to tourists.
