Abstract: This paper proposes a theoretical analysis of the overall health system in Romania and Sweden. Through a comparative approach of the two systems, the purpose of this article is to highlight the benefits of health services provided by the public health sector institutions correlated with spending levels allocated by the two governments. The main results point to the fact that Romania, by allocating a small percentage of Gross Domestic Product for the financing of the health system, faces problems like migration of health personnel, lack of medicines, facilities and medical equipment, with inadequate funding of prevention programs, etc These results indicate the need for indepth reform of the public health.
