Abstract: The effects of financial crisis are strongly felt in Romania, which already face with a significant slowdown in economic growth or even economic recession. The current and international situation remains still difficult, and requires high budget constraints. Under these conditions, the health system in Romania has become one of the most inefficient in Europe, mainly characterized by lack of transparency in the allocation of funds and inefficiency in resource use. The lack of clear and coherent criteria to evaluate the performance of health institutions results in a difficult implementation of efficient managerial systems to reward the efficient manager.
