Abstract

This paper proposes an analysis of overall health systems in Romania and Sweden. Through a comparative approach of the two systems, the purpose of this article is to highlight the benefits of medical services provided by the public health sector institutions in correlation with the levels of expenditure allocated by the two governments. The main result point to the fact that Romania, by allocating a small percentage of GDP to finance the health system, are facing problems such as migration of medical personnel, lack of medicines, equipment and medical devices with inadequate funding of prevention programs, etc. These results indicate the need to reform towards public health system.
