Quality health care is scarce. There are limited facilities, medical supplies and medication. To get treatment at a well-equipped health center or hospital, one must travel to a county capital hospital. County capital hospitals are also the most likely facilities to have a professional on staff who can speak English and French in addition to the languages of the country.
It is standard practice for patients to tip medical personnel to guarantee that sufficient attention is given to their medical conditions.
Potential health risks include hepatitis A, polio, typhoid, and rabies -- so immunizations for these are to be considered. Anyone planning to stay in Romania longer than six months should make sure they are up to date on all routine immunizations before arrival. A hepatitis B shot is also recommended.
