Abstract:
The intention of this article is to highlight, by reporting, the empirical elements that circumscribe the time frame of recent developments in the Romanian national health system and the way health policies are configured and oriented. At the same time, its role is to identify possible prospects for the development of the system in the immediate future. In this sense, I evaluate, in the first section, how the public-private relationship has evolved in the national health system from the perspective of medical infrastructure, starting from the presentation of a comparative analysis regarding the construction of new hospitals in the European Union. In the second stage, I put under scrutiny both the legislative context and the projections regarding the construction of new hospitals in contemporary Romania in order to be able to later carry out a case study on the construction of regional hospitals from the perspective of feasibility studies, by reference for the project of the Regional Emergency Hospital to be built in Iași.
