Adevărul is organizing on March 24, 2026, starting at 10:00 AM, at Crowne Plaza Hotel Bucharest, the event “Healthcare Forum 2026. The Truth About Romania’s Healthcare.” The event aims to become the central platform for dialogue in identifying concrete solutions to the bottlenecks within Romania’s healthcare system.
At a time when healthcare is recognized not only as a public service but also as critical infrastructure for society, the forum will feature as special guest the Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete. He will join an impressive list of specialists, hospital managers, patient representatives, and investors to analyze the disparities between the public and private healthcare systems, as well as the major gaps between urban and rural areas.
Four Pillars of Debate
The event, moderated by journalist Irina Petraru, is structured into four thematic panels addressing the most pressing issues of the moment:
- Regional disparities and access to hospitals and treatment
- Public, Private, and International Systems. An overview of public–private collaboration, solutions to the workforce crisis, and presentation of best practice models from the European Union.
- Innovation in Healthcare. The role of Artificial Intelligence in diagnostics, telemedicine, and cybersecurity, alongside the opportunities provided by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP).
- Prevention: The importance of family medicine, health education, and the role of private insurance.
