The service itself is not great, especially in smaller cities, but it’s quite cheap compared to private healthcare and in big cities you actually have decent to good treatment. My dad has treatable diabetes (doesn’t require insulin) and spends something like 50 euros a month for them. Not free, but affordable.

Bad part of Romania is the rampant corruption and lack of infrastructure. It’s gotten better the past years but still behind western countries.
