Abstract:
Health system strengthening is a critical component of public health and national economic development. The development and investment in the complex infrastructure of the health system, starting from human resources, represented by the medical and sanitary personnel to the health infrastructure on which the delivery of specific medical assistance and public health interventions depends, is a necessity in a modern health system. A sustainable development of the health system helps to create a strong system necessary to face some of the biggest global challenges we face, but also to ensure universal health coverage and access to high-quality health care services. Health systems must be accessible, effective and able to adapt to future changes and challenges, facing pressures that force them to evolve, modernize and adapt to a constantly changing environment. This paper proposes to make a diagnosis of the health system in Romania, the analyzes being carried out on a database with specific indicators for the medical infrastructure for the period 2014-2021. The research analyzes the resources allocated to the sanitary system in Romania for the mentioned period, in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and economy. The results of the research revealed a direct link between the allocation of resources in the health system and the sustainability of the system. Showing that although shocks destabilize a health system, they also open an opportunity for transformation, for adaptation. This must lead to the development of policies with the potential for long-term transformation of the health system.
