Abstract

A good health system is essential for any country to achieve its social, economic, and political goals and to ensure that all citizens have the opportunity to lead healthy and productive lives. A country’s healthcare system can also have an impact on its reputation and competitiveness on the global stage. Several research studies have examined the healthcare system in Romania from a comprehensive perspective. Recently, the topics most studied include healthcare workers and the impact of the pandemic on the healthcare system. This study aims to analyze the level of resources and the quality of the health system in the 42 counties of Romania. Data was collected from national statistics and several indicators were examined in relation to the resources and quality of the healthcare system. The primary indicators for healthcare resources that we used focused on the average number of doctors and hospitals, among others. While, for quality, we evaluated metrics such as the average of natality, mortality, and others. To analyze the data collected on health resources, we used a two-step cluster grouping method in SPSS, and to assess quality indicators, we performed a one-way ANOVA analysis to determine whether there were significant differences in health care quality between areas with fewer resources and areas with more resources. The findings of our research divided the country into four clusters based on the availability of medical resources per one thousand inhabitants, where medical resources are limited and where resources are high. Furthermore, we discovered that there is a statistically significant difference between medical resources and the mortality rate.
