De ce pleacă medicii din România? Acasă primesc salariu 2.500 €. În străinătate sunt plătiți cu 10.000 € • Newsweek România

The healthcare sector in Romania faces a significant workforce crisis as over 8,200 job openings have emerged in the private sector this year. Despite a decrease in available positions compared to last year, the demand for medical professionals remains high, with salaries in Romania significantly lower than those abroad. While Romanian doctors earn around €2,500 monthly, specialists in Western countries can earn upwards of €10,000. The disparity in salaries, especially for roles like anesthesiologists and cardiologists, drives many healthcare workers to seek opportunities abroad. The competition for talent is fierce, with private clinics and foreign hospitals actively recruiting Romanian professionals.
