Abstract: The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the current status on health services and the objectives are to analyse the legal framework of health services, the country profile, the unequal access at the health services and the influence of the doctors and nurses mobility to the sustainable development of Romania. The paper is an observational study based on descriptive and comparative analysis on secondary data. Analysis of the current legal framework revealed that there are major differences regarding the access to health services in urban and rural areas, because in the urban areas are more hospitals than in the rural ones, the medical services offered in the urban area are incomparable better than the ones offered in the rural zones and the mobility of the medical staff in the other European countries affect the economic situation and the sustainable development of Romania. Health system in Romania faces several challenges: population ageing, relatively low public investment in health and weaknesses in resource allocation. All these results demonstrate that the Romanian government should create a legislative framework for ensuring more efficient and high quality cross-border medical services. Also, health should be promoted in all the policies. Investing in health system in Romania should assure a real sustainable development. Investment in e-health may contribute to clinical quality. The evaluation of this data reinforces the necessity of reforming and modernizing the health system.
