Heavy metal band Metallica says it has donated 250,000 euro (£229,000) 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 on Wednesday in Romania’s National Arena, according to the band’s All Within My Hands non-profit foundation.

Fans, @Mastercard, and @Metallica have made a special donation to Daruieste Viata (The Give Life Association) supporting the #NoiFacemUnSpital initiative, building the first Pediatric Oncology and Radiotherapy Hospital in Romania. #MetInBucharest #MetallicaGivesBack #AWMH pic.twitter.com/vD07ePwWTk

The funds went to the Daruieste Viata (Bestow Life) association, which is working to modernise Romania’s medical infrastructure, increase its cancer survival rate and build the country’s first Paediatric Oncology and Radiotherapy Hospital.

The group says the country’s cancer survival rate is way below the European Union average.

The construction of the hospital began in 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2020.

Few hospitals have been built in Romania since the 1989 fall of communism, a situation most blame on endemic government corruption.
