Victor Popescu Military Emergency Clinical Hospital (Romanian: Spitalul Clinic Militar de Urgență „Victor Popescu”) is a public hospital with a military profile in Timișoara, Romania. On 5 February 1847, the first general anesthesia with ether in what is now Romania was carried out here, just 112 days after the first such procedure was performed globally. It offers specialized medical care to active, reserve, or retired military personnel, war veterans, or veterans from conflict zones, along with their families, from the military units and formations assigned to the counties of Arad, Bihor, Caraș-Severin, and Timiș.
