The role of Public Institutions in the Romanian Healthcare System
The role of Public Institutions in the Romanian Healthcare System

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian healthcare system is a predominantly public one, in which public institutions have the main role. The article analyses the role and organization of the main public institutions in the Romanian health system: the Ministry of Health, the Public Health District Authorities and the National Health House in terms of their roles and duties. Following the inductive and deductive analysis, it emerged that public institutions have an essential role in the Romanian health system, contributing to the provision of medical services to the insured, ensuring access to medical care, promoting public health and protecting the interests of patients and the population in general. In conclusion, the situation of the Romanian health system is a complex one: although it faces many problems such as limited resources, old infrastructure or shortage of medical personnel, it manages to provide medical services at low or free costs to all insured persons.
