Advocate Institution, which notified us that it had asked the Public Health
Department of the Timis county to check the found aspects and the recommendations
set out with a view to improving the patients’ treatment and preventing torture and
inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Based on the answer of the Ministry
of Health, the Administrative Office of the hospital assessed the field of the inside
yard of the hospital and entered a services contract with a specialized company for
the arrangement and maintenance of green areas during June-October 2018. On the
