Abstract: This paper proposes to reveal the importance of health in accomplishing the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. Acting within an internal and international environment, dynamic and often unpredictable, which has recently suffered profound changes, in order to survive, the health unit must be able to sense the transformations, opportunities and new tasks, to adapt to the requirements of an environment which is not always favorable. The activity of health preservation has an important influence upon the development of economy. It ensures the satisfaction of the basic human need to be healthy, and the basic need of society to have a healthy population. Through the impact that it has upon the capacity of production of human capital, health is, or should be perceived as an important investment. The new international concepts consider health investments as means of preserving and developing human capital – long term capital investments in the economy of a country.
