Abstract: Compared from other services, the medical services are accessed, required and necessary for any person, meaning a high cost for health care. In Romania, the level of health financing is below the European Union average, which means confronting both health professionals and patients with the lack of resources. Both funding and organization determine the proper functioning of a health system that is reflected on the population’s health. This article aims to study the Romanian health system from the financing perspective and the financial management of health institutions, related to the performance level of this sector. In order to have a clear picture, Romania needs to be compared to the rest of the EU Member States in terms of financing, and sector performance. The performance degree the Romanian healthcare system contributes to a large extent to the population’s general health, and it is necessary to comply with the European legislation. The degree of funding for this sector is reflected in performance and thus requires a higher GDP percentage allocated to health. The functioning of the health sector as a whole and the funding and management of its resources are a matter of general interest, given that these aspects are reflected in the health status of the population.
