Abstract: The migration tendency of the health care staff represents a major problem which affects the great majority of the EU states. The Romanian sanitary economy presents an alarming situation, because not only that the number of health care workers leaving the country is high, but it is continuously increasing. Cumulating the issues determined by the sanitary system’s under-financing with the exodus of specialist doctors we reach the conclusion that the health care system urgently needs undertaking some real measures in order to diminish the negative effects and to improve the services provided to patients. In order to achieve these goals, the main objective of this paper is to identify the causes which determine the international migration of Romanian doctors and to elaborate a series of recommendations which would be useful in solving some problems generated by the lack of health care staff.
