The book Transparency of Money in the Romanian Healthcare System provides an in-depth analysis of the financial structure of Romania’s healthcare sector, offering a clear perspective on funding sources, expenditures, and financial flows in this critical domain. Using a methodology based on the System of Health Accounts (SHA 2011), the study examines state budget allocations, social health insurance contributions, private insurance, and out-of-pocket payments.
This work highlights key comparisons between Romania and other European countries, emphasizing disparities in healthcare financing and their impact on service quality. Additionally, it thoroughly examines international funding sources, such as the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and EU structural funds, and their influence on the healthcare system.
The book is intended for economists, public policy specialists in healthcare, students, researchers, and decision-makers interested in financial transparency and efficiency in medical funding. With its analytical yet accessible approach, it is also a valuable resource for the general public concerned about the functioning of Romania’s healthcare system.
