The Analysis of the Main Macroeconomic Indicators which Characterize the Romanian Health System

Abstract

Abstract Most Western countries have passed in the last decade of the twentieth century through significant changes in the health system domain, transformations which directly relate to the financial, organizational and regulatory framework. Romania, along with other European countries, joined the trend of transforming the social and health systems. The health sector is involved in one of the most substantial reforms of the entire Romanian society. In this macroeconomic context, a series of specific indicators were used to characterize the health system in Romania. We also realized an econometric analysis of the correlation between the number of physicians, the number of hospitals, beds in hospitals and the number of patients out of hospital using a linear econometric model.
