PROCUREMENT OF GOODS – A CHALLENGE FOR PUBLIC HOSPITALS
Abstract:
This paper presents some of the challenges that the Romanian public hospitals are confronted
with when seeking to procure the goods required to perform their daily activity. As public units, they
have to follow the specific legislation regarding the use and expenditure of public money. The
Government Emergency Ordinance (GEO) no. 34/2006 with subsequent amendments and other
secondary legislation set up the framework for public procurement together with its fundamental
principles. A better usage of it, a better planning and a tighter collaboration between the administrative
and medical departments will lead to a more efficient way of spending the public money and to an
improvement in the procurements’ results, the medical personnel’s activity and the quality of the
services provided to patients
