Description
Summary:Ensuring the financial resources necessary for the optimal functioning of a vital sector for a society/nation at a given time is often very difficult. Things become even more complicated in a context of overlapping crises (financial, health, geostrategic, energy, supply flows, etc.). Referring to the attempts to make the Romanian public health system more efficient, we will show that, so far, a real reform, in the sense of performatization/streamlining of the analyzed system, has not yet taken place. A proof of this lies in the gap between our system and that of most European countries. We are also taking into account some indicators which indicate the health status of the Romanian population, compared to the level of the same indicators in other EU countries. Our findings show that the analyzed system seems to be in a state of "continuous reform" and the results remain relatively modest.
