Romania Health Program for Results

The development objective of the Health Program for Results Project for Romania is to increase the coverage of primary health care (PHC) for underserved populations and improve the efficiency of health spending by addressing underlying institutional challenges. The program scope is informed by the findings of analytical work and the experiences of previous engagements and defined by the country’s demand and application of the country partnership framework (CPF) filters. The program focuses on three results areas in which the government requested the Bank’s support and where the Bank’s engagement is likely to make a significant impact: results area 1: improving PHC coverage for underserved populations; results area 2: rebalancing the hospital-centric system toward effective PHC; and results area 3: improving health expenditure efficiency by addressing critical cost drivers.
