Bucharest, October 21, 2025 — The Europe Today: On Monday, Romania’s Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete announced the launch of a new €100 million digital health platform, designed to modernise the country’s national health system and improve accessibility, efficiency and data-driven care.
According to the minister’s statement, the platform will integrate a range of digital services—including electronic health records, tele-medicine functionality, smart diagnostic tools and improved interoperability across hospitals and clinics. — With this initiative, the Romanian government aims to reduce administrative burdens, speed up patient care and facilitate better coordination across the healthcare ecosystem.
Minister Rogobete described the platform as a key pillar of Romania’s digital-transformation agenda in health. He noted that the investment underscores the country’s commitment to leveraging technology for improved public health outcomes and more equitable access to care.
Officials say the new system will:
- Ensure seamless exchange of patient data among medical providers.
- Expand telemedicine services, particularly for rural and underserved communities.
- Enable real-time analytics and decision-support for clinicians.
- Support the roll-out of smart hospital systems and remote monitoring.
The launch comes at a time when Romania is seeking to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure and align with broader European Union initiatives on digital health and cross-border interoperability. By stepping into large-scale digitalisation, the country hopes to boost the quality of care while managing rising costs and demographic pressures.
Minister Rogobete emphasised that the platform will be rolled out in phases, with initial modules scheduled to go live before the end of the year. He also encouraged both private and public sector partners—including hospitals, research institutions and technology firms—to participate in the broader ecosystem.
The initiative has been welcomed by industry observers as a major step forward, though experts caution that success will depend on effective change management, data privacy safeguards and ensuring that front-line medical staff are properly supported and trained.
With this move, Romania is positioning itself to join a growing number of European countries adopting ambitious digital health strategies — aiming to deliver smarter, more accessible and cost-efficient healthcare services for its population.
