  • ROMANIA Association: Romanian Society of Stomatology (SRS) Venue: Bucharest Year: 2017
    Regional European Organisation of the FDI National Report Country: ROMANIA Association: Romanian Society of Stomatology (SRS) Venue: Bucharest Year: 2017 Changes in the association and its organisation The first Romanian association of dentists, called “The General Association of Doctors in Dental Medicine in the Country”, was established in Cluj by the 17 September 1923 Constitutive Act and admitted on October 20, 1923 by the Decision no. 1161/1923 issued by the Head of the Cluj Urban Court. The association included 37 dentists, who held a general assembly in which they drafted and signed a statute certified and acknowledged by the Cluj Court. The elected president was G. Bilascu (Cluj). The main purpose of the association was “to contribute to the progress of dentistry; to defend the professional and material interests of its members”. Initially, in Bucharest, the Association published a journal called the “Romanian Stomatology Journal” with 4 numbers per year. Since 1937 the journal was called the “Romanian Journal of Dentistry” and was published under the leadership of Associate Professor Dr. Dan Theodorescu with 6 numbers per year. The magazine was published in Romanian, each article having a summary in French, German and English. In 1937, the General Association of Doctors in Dental Medicine moved its headquarters to Bucharest, changing its name into the General Association of Dentists in Romania (AGMSR). In 1938 AGMSR changed its name into the “Romanian Society of Stomatology” (SRS) with a modified statute, its President being Associate Professor Dr. Dan Theodorescu. During that period, the SRS organized dentistry congresses, trying to regulate dental practice.

  • Case Study: Outpatient in Its DNA—Medlife
    CASE STUDY Outpatient in its DNA MedLife: Changing the Culture of Healthcare in Romania March 2017 ABOUT IFC IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on leveraging the power of the private sector to tackle the world’s most pressing development challenges. Working with private enterprises in more than 100 countries, IFC uses its capital, expertise and influence to help eliminate extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity. ABOUT THE CASE STUDY Expanding access to quality and affordable health care is a central element to eliminating extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The World Bank Group has a goal to end preventable deaths and disability through Universal Health Coverage (UHC). In many developing countries, governments do not have the capacity to service the entire population and private health care providers often play a critical role in meeting societal needs. IFC’s health practice is developing case studies that demonstrate the ability of the private sector towards achieving global and national health care goals. Through a focus on efficiency and innovation, certain business models can provide better outcomes at a lower overall cost to society. WRITTEN BY This case study was authored by Ann M. Casanova with valuable inputs from IFC colleagues: Ioan Cleaton-Jones, Mona Hassan, Chris McCahan, Alexandre Oliveira, and Elena Sterlin. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A special note of appreciation is extended to MedLife, especially to Mihai Marcu, Dr. Nicolae Marcu, Dorin Preda, and Alis Lupu for sharing their experience and data with us. The author is grateful for the many insights provided by IFC colleagues.

  • Primary Healthcare and Hospitals Together Responsible for Good Health of Patient and Society"
    "Primary Healthcare and Hospitals together responsible for good Health of Patient and Society" Organised by the Romanian Hospital Association In co-operation with: the Commission for Health and Family of the Parliament of Romania, the Romanian Residents Association, the Romanian Institute of Health Services Management of the Ministry of Health and the International Hospital Federation Bucharest, 5-6 November 1998 The Two-Way Message of Bucharest Conclusions by Prof. K. SCHUTYSER (Secretary-General HOPE) Within one year after the Berlin wall was broken down, HOPE started an East-West Hospital Co- operation (twinning) action during a Seminar in Berlin (1990), followed by one in Strasbourg (1992) and one in Bucharest (1994), which I called in the conclusions of 1994 one of the hearts of Central Europe. 4 years later we are back in this city and country, Romania, which became meanwhile one of the candidates (albeit of the second round) of the Euro Agenda 2000, the calendar for the enlargement of Europe. A lot has changed during these last 4-5 years. The initial wild enthusiasm of the EU, the Member States and especially the NGOs for active partnership in bridging the East-West gap has somewhat cooled down. Especially in the health domain the PHARE and TACIS programmes lost e.g. their attention for health as a priority. Even in HOPE some weakening of the attention could be noted, which made the organisation of this Conference not so evident, but it was luckily countered by the HOPE colleagues present and their active input. The experiences and outcomes of these 2 days however certainly illustrate that if some kind of EURO Marshall plan would start towards the Central European Countries to stimulate their "renaissance", the sectors of welfare, health, education and culture should be a full part of such a plan, which could not be limited to economics and markets.

  • Decalogue for Improving Healthcare in Romania (2020)
    DECALOGUE FOR IMPROVING HEALTHCARE IN ROMANIA MOTIVATION As a result of the present public health crisis, the need to reshape the Romanian healthcare system is even more obvious. The signatories of this appeal have a deep knowledge of the Romanian healthcare system and its needs and request all political parties in Romania, as well as governmental authorities, to urgently initiate, before the end of 2021, the following reforms that will bring actual improvements in the life of patients, healthcare professionals and any other citizen who needs health services in Romania. THE FUNDAMENTALS Romania needs a new national health strategy that is adopted across political parties and that includes realistic, specific objectives, that directly reflect the real health and financial protection needs of the population, objectives that can be achieved with the predicted available resources. This national health strategy needs to consider prevention services for the healthy population, curative medical services for the ailing citizens and palliation services for the citizens that suffer from end-stage chronic diseases. At the same time, this national health strategy needs to be based on an evaluation of the normative costs of health services, at the average standard in the European Union, following multi-annual budgetary planning. Urgently implementing the following measures, in a time span of 18 months, can trigger a positive domino effect for the whole Romanian healthcare system and have a beneficial effect for everyone. OUR REQUESTS 1. STOP POLITICAL CRONYISM in the healthcare system by organizing public competitions for management positions which should be transparent, open for any professional and based on objective criteria, alongside publication of the performance indicators and yearly performance assessments.
