Abstract: In this article we shall attempt to point out the way the hospital units from Romania are managed in the current context. We are speaking about a difficult economic social context, an insufficient funding of the health system, a precarious infrastructure of hospitals and a legislative that seems to restrict rather than help managers in performing an efficient management. How can possibly a hospital manager forecast, organize, coordinate, train, check and assess or in a different way said, how can a hospital manager fulfil or carry out the five functions of management in the conditions when his autonomy is extremely limited? We shall try to emphasize which the restrictions and challenges are and the managers of these institutions must deal with and what they should do so as to be not only efficient but also effective. We shall also not lastly point out that the implementation of a management system of quality in hospital units from Romania will have to become the main pylon around which the management of these units should be rebuilt or rethought about.
