Population Health Status and the Access to the Medical Services in Romania

Summary/Abstract: This article shows some of the contrasts among the Romanian quality of health services and that from European Community. Through its medical practices and critical health state of its population, Romania seems deeply dissociated from European Union realities in this respect. Since two decades, the Romanian public health system is situated at the tail-end of the European systems in what concerns social prevention, care for population’s health, application of some sanitary public programmes and performances of the medical services providing. And all these after about twenty years of health services reform, and multiplying of public health care spending of five times. The article includes two chapters focused on some health and demographic indicators, and on the existing difficulties in accessing public health services encountered by various disadvantaged categories of population – with an accent on some new research data concerning the access of the Rroma ethnic group to the public health services. There are used data published by Eurostat, but also from the national and territorial health statistics.
