Romania is located in south-eastern Europe, bordering Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria and Serbia. In 2009, the population is estimated at 21.5 million, making it one of the largest countries in the region. Romania became an EU member state in 2007.
Healthcare funding in Romania is largely through the National Health Insurance Fund. Healthcare provision is predominantly managed by the state, although the private health sector is starting to grow. Government health expenditure is very low, even by Eastern European standards. Romania spends around 5.7% of GDP on healthcare.
Improvements to the health system continue to be supported by World Bank-sponsored projects. The ‘Health Sector Reform Project APL II’, which was approved in December 2004 and will run until December 2009, aims to improve maternity and newborn care, emergency medical care and rural primary healthcare.
In 2009, the Romanian market for medical equipment and supplies is estimated at US$355 million, or US$17 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a rate of 7.9% per annum reaching US$520 million, or US$24 per capita by 2014.
Around 86% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. In 2007, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands were the leading suppliers, accounting for around 47% of imports. The value of imports rose by 80.1% in 2007 reaching US$382.8 million.
