Metallica said Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2019, it has donated 250,000 euros to support the construction of Romania’s first paediatric oncology hospital.
The American heavy metal band, which is very popular in Romania, made the donation ahead of their sold-out show Wednesday in Romania’s National Arena, according to the band’s All Within My Hands nonprofit foundation. The funds went to the Daruieste Viata association, which is working to modernize Romania’s medical infrastructure, increase its cancer survival rate and build the country’s first Pediatric Oncology and Radiotherapy Hospital. The group says the country’s cancer survival rate is way below the European Union average.Few hospitals have been built in Romania since the 1989 fall of communism, a situation most blame on endemic government corruption.
