ABSTRACT: The current research study aims to reflect some of the operating modes of the
Romanian healthcare system, which seem to have remained unchanged in the last 30 years. A
general background of the medical system will bring into play principles such as: society
responsibility for the public health, multidisciplinary approach, decentralization of the public
health system or an integrated informational and computerized system for the public heath
management. Two important dimensions we considered to be the most relevant have been
highlighted in our paper, namely, the patients’ rights and obligations and accessibility to medical
services, as well.

KEYWORDS: health system, patients’ rights and obligations, health services, access to information
