Carmen Uscatu, the President and co-founder of Dăruiește Viață / Give Life, posted on LinkedIn:
“On November 22, at 7 p.m., I invite you to the Humanitas Bookstore in Cişmigiu.
‘The Year I Didn’t Die’ is the book I wrote out of gratitude. It is a tribute to people. Books. Beautiful but especially disastrous events in my life.
Mr. Gabriel Liiceanu, Mrs. Lidia Bodea and Mr. Alexandru Stermin are kind enough to be by my side in this emotional moment.
Thanks:

Carmen is the President and co-founder of Dăruiește Viață / Give Life, one of the most well known NGOs in Romania and the NGO that has started and has implemented the initiative #WeBuildAHospital – building a children’s Hospital for scratch, exclusively from donations and sponsorships, a Hospital dedicated to ensuring multidisciplinary care to children with severe diseases, with a focus on cancer. She started volunteering in her free time before founding Dăruiește Viață, in 2012, with the purpose of drastically changing the way medical care is provided in Romania.
By the end of 2023, Dăruiește Viață had invested over 76M EUR in the public health system, implementing infrastructure projects, donating medical equipments, supporting patients and medical staff. The Hospital built in Bucharest is currently functional, treating children in the following specialties: oncology, neurosurgery, surgery, ICU and operating theatre with 5 operating rooms. In addition, the Hospital will include in the near future a transplant department and a radiotherapy department. Besides the Hospital, Dăruiește Viață has modernised and brought to nowadays standards oncology departments for children and adults in 8 hospitals across the country, has built 20 clean rooms thus tripling Romania’s transplant capacity, has built and equipped two laboratories for in-depth diagnosis of leukemia, has built two modular ICU hospitals during the pandemic and has donated over 17 tons of PPE. The Hospital project continues with the NGO planning to develop the project into the first pediatric medical campus in Romania.
