Health services in Romania in 2017
22-Feb-17, LinkedIn Pulse
Romanian healthcare is undergoing considerable reform and development. Both the public health services and the private healthcare system are expected to improve, expand and develop in the next period.
While the private health networks continue to attract foreign investment and acquire local players in order to consolidate their position, the public hospitals receive EU funding and public money for new buildings, development, refurbishment and modernisation.

For example, the Regina Maria network, the second largest player in the Romanian private medical services market, carried out six investments last year, acquiring smaller players in Bucharest, Ploiesti, Craiova and Timisoara.
MedLife, the biggest private medical services provider, recorded a consolidated turnover of EUR112 mn (USD118 mn) in 2016, up 29%. It also made several acquisitions in the market in order to consolidate its position.
