Private hospitals
Romania has a large number of private hospitals, about one third is privately owned. Private
hospitals are treating patients from higher income groups with relatively simple problems
(gynaecology, ear, throat mouth), basically the low hanging fruit. People with a low income
can’t reach private medical care. Complex care is usually not delivered and in case of
complications with these simple procedures, patients are sent to the public hospital. Result of
this that the public system gets a larger burden of complex cases. Private hospital charges
is
the CNAS with the standardised rate and the patient an additional fee.
