„Din Grijă Pentru Tine” health campaign in Negrești-Oaș

The national campaign „Din Grijă Pentru Tine” is arriving in Negrești-Oaș, offering free ultrasounds and medical consultations to residents. The initiative aims to improve the local community's access to preventative health services and specialist care.

Adoption of the 2026 Budget for Negrești-Oaș

The Local Council of Negrești-Oaș has adopted the 2026 budget, totaling 110 million lei. This year's budget is heavily oriented towards development and major investments in local infrastructure.

Negrești serves as a quiet, local administrative and commercial hub in the heart of the Moldavian Plateau. Situated in the valley of the Bârlad River, it embodies the character of a traditional Moldavian market town ('târg'), acting as a vital center for the surrounding agricultural villages. Its history is that of a settlement that grew organically at a crossroads of local trade. While not on the main tourist trail, Negrești gives an authentic glimpse into the rhythm of rural life in eastern Romania, distinguished by its pastoral landscapes and proximity to important archaeological sites of the ancient Cucuteni-Trypillia culture. The town's name itself is a link to the past, derived from a 15th-century nobleman who was part of Alexander the Good's council.
