Abstract

Chronic underfunding and inequity in access have been regarded as the key issues of the Romanian healthcare system. Besides this, it shows a very high level of under-digitalization, which led to reduced efficiency and limited capability to provide integrated care solutions. This research represents a comparison between the healthcare systems of Romania and the Netherlands with a primary objective to focus on learning from the Dutch system. We highlighted, through key health performance indicators, how unsatisfactory the medical service outcomes are in Romania compared to those of the Netherlands's system. Knowing that the Dutch strategy is centered around compulsory health insurance, advanced funding mechanisms, and complete digitalization of healthcare, thereby it can act as a model for possible reforms in Romania.
