THE EVOLUTION OF THE FINANCING OF HEALTH SERVICES IN ROMANIA, FROM THE SEMASHKO MODEL TO THE BISMARCK MODEL

Summary/Abstract: The health status of the population has always influenced the economic state of the country and has been influenced, in turn, by the economy. Due to the increased index of disease worldwide, an aspect that leads to the increase of the costs of health services, there is more and more talk about the difficulty of the states in the financial support of this sector. The present article intends to carry out an analysis of the evolution of the financing models adopted by Romania during communism and post-communism. The importance of the topic addressed derives from the understanding of health as a resource for the development of society and not as a resource consumer, while understanding the role of decision-makers in the importance of efficient management of financial resources for this sector. Thus, beyond the individual perspective on health, its subjective perception and the individual decision to choose behaviors that keep the state of health in the balance, the state can be an important factor in ensuring the functioning of this system.
