The Romanian Healthcare System and Financing Strategies

History shows us that all civilizations across time gave healthcare a good amount of attention. Modernising healthcare in developed countries not only reflects the function of its economy but also can be a kind of measurement for its development level. Healthcare finance strategy is key to this. This study explore ways of financing health care programs that addresses three main questions: how to raise the funds; how to increase the health care budget; and how to pay for the services. This paper aims to investigate the four main ways of increasing the budget for health services in any restructuring process. The study creates a model made with an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to form a budget finance strategy for health care in Romania. The contributions of the paper are its findings, which allow us to draw interesting and useful conclusions about the methods of financing healthcare services.
