How are healthcare services in Bucharest?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Bucharest, they replied...
"Healthcare services in Bucharest, are provided through a mix of public and private facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and specialized medical centers. The public healthcare system is funded by the National Health Insurance House, which covers a wide range of services for Romanian citizens and residents. However, public hospitals and clinics in Bucharest may face challenges such as outdated infrastructure, long waiting times, and limited resources. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities in Bucharest offer more modern and advanced medical services, with shorter waiting times and better patient care. These private clinics and hospitals often have state-of-the-art equipment, highly trained medical professionals, and a wider range of specialized services. However, private healthcare can be more expensive, and not all services may be covered by the national health insurance. In addition to hospitals and clinics, Bucharest also has numerous pharmacies, dental clinics, and other specialized healthcare providers. Emergency medical services are available through the national emergency number, 112, which connects callers to ambulance services, police, and fire departments. Overall, healthcare services in Bucharest are accessible and diverse, with both public and private options available to residents and visitors. While the public system may face challenges, private facilities offer high-quality care for those who can afford it," said another expat in Bucharest, Romania.
