Round table: "Granting the right to practice to foreign physicians in the context of the personnel shortage in the Romanian health system"
Invitation
The round table on "Granting the right to practice to foreign physicians in the context of the personnel shortage in the Romanian health system" will be held in Bucharest, on 26th of October. The event is organised by the Coalition for the Rights of Migrants and Refugees (CDMiR), a platform of non-governmental organisations active in the field of migration, human rights and public policies, which promotes migrants’ integration in Romanian society.
Location: Marshal Garden Hotel, Calea Dorobanti no50B, district 1, Bucharest
Time: 26 October, 10.00 hrs
The public health system in Romania has faced a personnel shortage over the last years, which hinders citizens' access to medical services and endangers the quality of healthcare services provided. The reason for this severe personnel shortage is the migration of professionals and medical graduates abroad. Since 2007 more than 45,300 medical staff - physicians, nurses and midwives, stomatologists, pharmacists - have applied for conformity certificates required for working in an European Union state[1]. Data from the Ministry of Health show that almost one third of positions throughout the country are vacant[2].
Romania has one of the last positions in the ranking of EU countries according to the number of physicians with a right to practice on the national territory, despite the fact that the number of graduates of medical universities is among the highest in Europe.
At present, as a result of legal and procedural barriers, physicians from outside the EU may not practice in Romania except in limited cases, such as by marriage with a Romanian citizen or after obtaining the long term residence permit (after 5 years of continuous stay).
Romania differs negatively from other European states such as Germany, France or Ireland who adopted policies to attract foreign physicians in order to face the challenges associated to personnel demand in hospitals and other medical units.
During the round table we aim to discuss about the conditions for granting the right to practice to third-country physicians, as a solution for the Romanian state to cover the personnel shortage in the health system. The event will be followed by a press conference.
Those interested to participate please confirm your attendance by e-mailing us at office@cdcdi.ro or calling at 0758.046.738.
The event is part of the project “Developing a network of active organizations in the field of migration (EMINET)”, co-financed by a grant from Switzerland through the Swiss Contribution to the enlarged European Union.
