Although you will normally not be refused treatment in an emergency, private providers may expect immediate payment for services. Make sure you have appropriate insurance cover and/or membership of the Romanian healthcare system.
EU visitors are covered in emergencies if they hold a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). In case of an emergency, call 112. Dialing 112 is a fast way to communicate with an emergency dispatch centre in the case of an emergency. This number covers all of the emergency services: police, fire department, and ambulance. You can call 112 from anywhere in Romania and from any phone, fixed or mobile.
In more remote areas in a medical emergency, you may find it a better idea – if possible – to try and find a way of getting to the nearest hospital, doctor or clinic. Response times are not consistent in all places.
