  Abstract:   This paper investigates a topical issue of interest in the economical, political and social context of Romania in the transition period. The analysis in terms of intentions and achievements in the evolution of Romanian health policy reveals positive aspects, as well as weaknesses and inconsistencies between the enacted laws and the effective results. Starting from the assertion that health is an inherent component of the quality of life, it argues for the necessity to reduce the “vulnerabilities” which stem from the Romanian health care system. This requires a general, coherent and coordinate effort of policymakers, to stress the importance of health reform within the framework of social policies. The main changes which have been made in the Romanian health care system since 1990 are reviewed, and their most salient outcomes critically analysed.
