Public Health in the Hârtibaciu Valley Region. Current Status, Malfunctions and Strategic Aspects

Summary/Abstract: Public health element in Hârtibaciu Valley region - current status, malfunctions and strategic aspects. The state of health of any particular nation is a reliable measure of its level of development and culture. Following its accession to the European Union, Romania has been trying to make up for the substantial shortcomings that separate it from the more developed European states. A valid analysis of the Public Health element must be based on a series of objective indicators that accurately reflect the current state of affairs: the presence and the number of institutions which operate in the field; the number of employees in the medical field and their level of preparation; the most widely spread diseases and their consequences (main medical indicators); the most important demographical indicators, and so on. The situation in the region under our examination reveals strong similarities with the national average, public health-wise, as well as a number of weaknesses which most EU members have overcome. This paper is set out to thoroughly scan the public health element in the aforementioned region, and to make suggestions which could lead to significant improvement if implemented as soon as possible.
