Abstract

In this article, the authors focus on the study of health as a fundamental element in having a population and, as a consequence, a work force capable of performing efficient activities. A comparative analysis of the current situation, from this point of view, in the European Union and the Member States, is highlighted, highlighting the shortcomings that occur. This article refers to the cost of maintaining health and the financial potential of each Member State. The focus is on the conditions in hospitals, the coverage of needs through the existing network, the facilities and, last but not least, the quality of the medical staff involved in the health field. From the comparative study undertaken, it follows that Romania still has a lot to do in order to reach a suitable, truly European standard. Measures are needed to determine the medical staff to accept their stay in the country. Data from the Eurostat source is used to highlight the arguments made by the authors.
