Health Ministry in Romania pushes digitalization project forward, allocating €30 million for the effort
The Romanian Ministry of Health has announced the launch of a significant digitalization project, the Integrated Information System, as part of its "Digital Transformation of the Ministry of Health" program. The initiative aims to simplify administrative procedures, improve efficiency, and enhance transparency within the healthcare system [2][3].
The Integrated Information System involves the implementation of an integrated digital platform to streamline work processes across the Ministry. The digital system is expected to facilitate better management of health data and administrative tasks, thereby optimizing operational workflows in healthcare governance [2][3].
The project was officially announced in June 2025, with the specifications for the system's implementation made available for public consultation starting in late June 2025 [2][3]. While specific companies or economic operators involved in the project are not explicitly mentioned, such government digitalization projects typically involve collaboration with tech firms specializing in software integration, cybersecurity, and public sector IT solutions. Further details about tendering or specific contractors may be outlined in subsequent official procurement announcements [1].
The public consultation for the Integrated Information System project will remain open for 10 days. Interested economic operators can submit proposals to amend or complete the project specifications during this period [1]. The digitalization of healthcare institutions is part of the broader national initiative called the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) [1].
The Integrated Information System project is included within Component 7 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and is intended to contribute to the digitalization of the activities of the Romanian Ministry of Health [1]. The estimated budget for the project is EUR 30 million, and it is expected to significantly modernize Romania's healthcare system [1].
This digitization effort aligns with Romania’s broader goals of digital transformation within public institutions. While a similar digitalization effort in the Romanian Agricultural Ministry focused on harmonizing data exchange and improving traceability with a blockchain-ready architecture, the health ministry’s project focuses more on administrative simplification and efficiency enhancement [1].
The digitalization of healthcare institutions is expected to bring greater efficiency and transparency, simplifying procedures for healthcare professionals and administrators, creating a more efficient and transparent healthcare system [1]. This digitalization is a component of Component 7 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and is intended to modernize administrative procedures and work processes in the Romanian Ministry of Health [1].
The statement about the digitalization of healthcare institutions was made by the Romanian Ministry of Health, emphasizing the significance of this initiative in the modernization of Romania's healthcare system. The Integrated Information System project is a crucial step towards achieving this goal.
- The Integrated Information System, part of Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), will streamline administrative procedures in the healthcare sector, specifically focusing on health-and-wellness, medical-conditions, and therapies-and-treatments, by optimizing operational workflows with improved data management.
- In conjunction with the broader national digital transformation plan, this project aims to modernize the Romanian Ministry of Health by implementing nutritional information systems that align with fitness-and-exercise guidelines, thus promoting health and wellness.
- As the Integrated Information System project progresses, it's anticipated that various health-related sectors, such as medical-conditions, fitness-and-exercise, and nutrition, will benefit from increased efficiency and transparency through streamlined work processes and better data management, thereby enhancing overall healthcare service delivery.
