Thus, by completing the provisions of art. 294 of the Fiscal Code, exemption from value added tax was also provided for:

a) the construction, rehabilitation, modernization services of hospital units from the public state network, as well as the construction, rehabilitation, modernization services of hospital units provided to non-profit entities registered in the Public Register organized by NAFA based on the provisions of art. 25 para.
