Abstract

At international level, the economic and financial crisis has created strong imbalances in any activity field. Just like the rest of the developing countries, Romania has felt the most negative effects, especially that failed to develop a coherent anti-crisis strategy. In this context, the services had registered a significant decline, becoming one of the most affected sectors. Unfortunately, no area of public services has been spared by the financial problems, the most serious deficiencies were recorded in the healthcare sector. Superimposed over an existing financial deficit, the economic crisis has accentuated the old problems and created new ones. Therefore, we consider it is essential to draw attention over the directions for improving the quality of health services to prevent the collapse of the Romanian healthcare system.
