a note about public hospitals: There are some excellent doctors at the main emergency hospitals, though the facilities and other staff may not be at the level you are accustomed to. (i.e. some of our members have been surprised there are no chairs for accompanying parents, that family members have been told to go to a private pharmacy to purchase medicine recommended by the doctor, and that certain staff appreciate tips). While doctors usually speak English, bringing a Romanian-speaking friend when you arrive (or for an extended stay) might be helpful for dealing with staff.


Private Hospitals and Clinics

Our members use many different private providers, including Sanador, Medicover, Regina Maria (and its Euroclinic hospital),  and others.
