Programme description
The multi-fund European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) programme is Romania’s main instrument to boost access to – and the quality of – health services. This will allow Romania to advance the overdue upgrade of the national health infrastructure and improve service delivery.

The programme aims to:
- Increase the quality of primary and community healthcare and outpatient services;
- Strengthen preventive services;
- Increase the effectiveness and resilience of the health system in areas of strategic importance;
- Allocate resources for rehabilitation, palliation and hospitalisation for chronic diseases related to an ageing population;

The programme will also finance health-related research, development and innovation and digitalisation of the health system.
