The National Institute of Public Health is implementing a 25-month initiative, from May 26, 2026, to June 26, 2028, titled “HIDROSAFE – Improving the administrative and professional capacity of health system authorities for compliance with the Directive on the quality of water intended for human consumption.”

This project receives co-financing from the European Union through the TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 2021-2027, identified by SMIS Code 363337/ CTRF 2.101.

The primary goal of HIDROSAFE is to enhance the professional capabilities of public health bodies, enabling them to effectively meet the requirements for drinking water quality, as stipulated by Directive 2020/2184 and Government Ordinance 7/2023.

This will be achieved through the creation of standardized risk assessment and management methodologies, the development of operational procedures and technical guidelines, and the delivery of specialized training workshops. The project is expected to yield several tangible outcomes that align with its objectives and contribute to the POAT program indicators.
