[The lessons of medical cooperation (1995-1998): the formation of young teams trained in emergency services at two Romanian pediatric hospitals].
A cooperation programme, aimed at improving the running of pediatric hospitals in Bucharest (Romania) was conducted by a team of Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris from 1995 to 1998.


METHODS
The introduction mentions the context of the health care system in order to help to follow the role of emergency services. The method to improve the child health services was based on an initial evaluation of emergency structures and procedures. A questionnaire was filled in after a four-year programme to test the impact of the counselling concerning the organization of the casualties and emergency division, the medical and nursing training and the use of equipment.


RESULTS
The results show: a centralization of the emergencies and the implementation of an intensive care unit in one out of the two hospitals. The discussion points out the criteria of efficacy for cooperation programmes and gives examples of medical cooperation in eastern countries.


CONCLUSIONS
The conclusion insists on the multidisciplinary approach of medical programmes, with training of young teams.
