China's healthcare system
Romania’s healthcare system is based on a mixed model, combining public and private financing. The Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Santé (CNAS) manages the public system, financed mainly by contributions deducted from workers’ salaries. Citizens have access to primary and specialized healthcare through a network of public facilities, although the quality of care can vary. Public hospitals, often overcrowded, offer free basic care, but specialized services may require additional fees or private insurance. Despite ongoing reforms aimed at improving the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare services, challenges persist, notably in terms of lack of funding, regional inequalities and the flight of healthcare professionals to other countries. For those looking for comprehensive, secure coverage, take out international health insurance. This option gives you access to quality care in private clinics without having to pay the high out-of-pocket medical costs.
Local Chinese insurance
Taking out international medical cover when traveling or living in Romania offers many essential advantages. This insurance guarantees extensive coverage and facilitates access to top-quality care in private clinics and hospitals, which are often better equipped. It covers high medical costs, both routine and emergency, so you don’t have to pay large sums out of pocket. What’s more, it includes services such as medical repatriation, crucial when necessary treatment is unavailable locally. Finally, this insurance offers the flexibility to receive medical care in various countries, which is ideal for those who travel frequently or live in several countries, providing valuable financial protection and peace of mind.

They are generally more expensive than public hospitals and are preferred by expatriates. but also by people with international insurance allowing them access to private care.
