Summary/Abstract: In the context of the dynamics of the evolution of health services, the evaluation of the performance of the healthcare units raises problems, in terms of size, the complexity of these services, the specialization, as well as the observance of certain European norms. Taking into account the fact that the performance of health institutions contributes to a great extent to the health of the population, this article aims at identifying, from the point of view of the performance of sanitary institutions regarding the number of beds in hospitals, the place of Romania in context. As well as the correlation between the percentage of GDP allocated to the health sector and the performance level of the hospital units. Knowing performance indicators in hospital units can trigger a wide range of improvement activities. In this respect, regarding the performance of the Romanian health system in the European context, referring to hospital performance indicators regarding the number of hospitals beds, Romania is positively positioned, the ranking made by the authors places Romania on a middle position regarding these indicators. During the analyzed period, the influence of the percentage of GDP allocated to the health sector on the performance of the hospital units is observed. Thus, in most cases, an increase in the percentage of GDP allocated to this sector determines, to a large extent, also an increase of the three performance indicators analyzed.
