Romania Health for Visitors
Romania’s medical facilities are generally regarded as good, but there are some limitations in the availability of medical supplies, especially outside major cities.
European travelers carrying the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) are entitled to free or reduced cost of medical care.
Nationals of countries who do not have a reciprocal health agreement with Romania are expected to pay cash upfront to access health services.
Ambulance services are unreliable in some areas outside larger cities.
Decompression chambers are available in Romania.
If you become seriously ill or injured, you’ll need to be evacuated to a better facility, but medical evacuation can be costly.
Health insurance is highly advised.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases:
Be sure you are up to date on routine vaccines.
Hepatitis A and B are recommended for unvaccinated travelers.
