This accreditation program not only recognizes the excellence of our team, but also contributes to the continuous improvement of standards of care in the field of endometriosis.”, said Prof. Dr. Elvira Brătilă, chief physician of obstetrics and gynecology at the Baneasa Memorial Hospital and specialist in minimally invasive pelvic surgery and robotics for endometriosis.
For his part, Dr. Rubin Munteanu emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration: “Our commitment to this process was essential to achieve the highest standards in surgical treatments for complex endometriosis. We want to improve the health of our patients and provide personalized solutions in the management of this condition.”
Prof. Dr. Elvira Brătilă is the initiator of the National Endometriosis Program and one of the pioneers of robotic surgery in Romania, through the implementation of DaVinci technology. At Memorial Hospital Băneasa, patients can benefit from minimally invasive interventions partially reimbursed by CNAS, based on this program.
With over 20 years of experience and over 6,000 surgical interventions, Dr. Rubin Munteanu is recognized for his expertise in the treatment of endometriosis, as well as in bariatric, colorectal and parietal defect surgery, through laparoscopic and robotic techniques.

It is an exceptional achievement of the professionals working at the hospital, reflecting the group’s fundamental values: compliance with the highest ethical standards, care for employees and commitment to patient satisfaction.
