The healthcare system in Romania
9-Sep-14, FRD Centre
The budget assigned in Romania for the public healthcare system has recorded approximately 6.2 billion EUR in 2013, representing 4.4% of the GDP, up by 0.4% compared to 2012.
The health care in Romania is organised in two different systems: the public system, which is financed mainly through the social health insurance contributions, and a smaller private system, where patients pay for health services.
The social health insurance system in Romania is the main financing system for the population’s healthcare that provides access to a basic package for the insured individuals: medical consultations, prescriptions or basic hospital care.
