The Health Care Committee enacts AmCham’s vision on the Health Care system, one in which citizens are treated with respect and decency; have access to both public and private healthcare facilities where qualitative, efficient and equitable services are delivered with a sustainable, long term approach.

The AmCham Health Care committee believes that better health and longer life expectancy will create more wealth for Romania, therefore it seeks to provide responsible authorities with win-win solutions to build a sustainable health care system aimed at improving Romanians’ health and adding 10 years of life expectancy in the next 15 years.

The committee has shaped its agenda in accordance with the current priorities and needs of the health care system. These are pursued by three sub-working groups focusing on the following areas:

Patient Access
System Efficiency, Metrics & Transparency
Health Technology Assessment

Through position documents addressed to the main health care decision makers, members of the Health Care Committee expressed their support for transparency, control and efficiency measures, leverage of innovative health technologies to drive efficiencies or using IT systems to achieve control and transparency.
At the same time, areas of concern conveyed by the committee include decreasing spending on overall health care, unfavorable business environment (delayed payment terms, lack of incentives for investors), unpredictable and frequent legislative changes impacting the industry or measures favoring ambiguity.

Committee membership is comprised of suppliers of medical products, services, equipments & technology, as well as consultancies.
Meetings of the Health Care Committee or its Subgroups are announced to registered members in advance, are posted on the AmCham webpage under the Committees’ Meetings Calendar and included in the AmCham Weekly Update.

An opis of related resources and position documents elaborated by the Healthcare Committee are available in the Members’ Only section on the AmCham webpage.
