Romania publishes draft national health digitalization strategy for 2026–2030

Romania's Ministry of Health has published its Draft National Health Digitalization Strategy 2026–2030 for public consultation. The strategy targets fragmented health data, limited interoperability between systems, and insufficient digital skills among healthcare professionals, with priorities including electronic health record infrastructure, telemedicine platforms, and workforce digital competencies. For a country that currently lacks the basic infrastructure required for EHDS primary use obligations, this is the first comprehensive attempt to lay the groundwork — but moving from consultation to funded implementation within EHDS timelines will be the real test.
