Through the “Healthy Hearts – Strong Communities” project, worth 14.5 million lei, the unit was equipped with 80 modern medical devices, including a C-arm radiology system, an electrophysiology system with 3D mapping and a central monitoring station for 26 patients.

In 2025, nearly 3,000 patients were admitted to the Cardiology Department, of whom more than 1,500 required coronary intensive care. Since 2020, nearly 2,500 procedures of this type have been performed in Galați.
