Abstract: This paper aims to examine the existing interest for rehabilitation services in Romania and the infrastructure, in the context of global healthcare trends. Preliminary results: Although there's a lack of reliable data and official statistics, data obtained from Google Trends shows interest in such services. In today's digital world, online plays a significant role in the research process and decision-making. However, poor accessibility, transport barriers, high out-of-pocket expenses and long waiting times contribute to the unmet need for such services. Thus, it is important to enhance data collection regarding rehabilitation services in order to gain a better understanding of the elements which need improvement.
