About Aspen Healthcare & Quality of Life Program
The Aspen Institute Romania’s Healthcare & Quality of Life Program was created to broaden the scope of the debate on health policy and support sustainable reforms in the health sector. Over time, it developed a program community involving all relevant stakeholders, including public officials and decision-makers, private stakeholders, representatives of the non-governmental and academic sectors, and patients’ associations. It provided a neutral and balanced venue not just for discussing but also for acting on critical issues affecting the Romanian and regional healthcare systems.
