Romania should follow the European trend towards patient-centered healthcare policies and ensure the sustainability of the healthcare system, senior adviser Diana Paun said on Monday. 

"We are fast approaching the year 2019, when Romania takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union and has the opportunity to bring topics of interest to the agenda, but also to be fully in line with the European project and the themes advocated by the other countries holding the presidency before and after Romania. Romania should follow the European trend in patient-centered healthcare policies and ensure the sustainability of the healthcare system," Paun said at the "Patient-Centred Roundtable on Working Together for Accessible Health" event. 

She added that Romania being a member of the EU brings it the advantage of being able to benefit from expertise and recommendations and learn from examples of good practices of the other European member states that have highly performing healthcare systems. 

"The Romanian healthcare system faces many challenges that I would not want to mention here because I am convinced that they are well-known to you. Romania being a member of the EU brings it the advantage of being able to benefit from expertise and recommendations and learn from examples of good practices of the other European member states that have highly performing healthcare systems," she said. 

Paun added that "the debate at all levels and the synergy of all healthcare players are essential" for the success of "a project of such magnitude." "Patient associations in Romania have always been reliable partners and I am glad to have the opportunity today to reiterate the support of the Presidential Administration and the President of Romania for all the civil society players acting to bring awareness over us and make us responsible, on the one hand, and the reactivity of the decision makers, on the other hand," said Paun.
