The study on the “Macroeconomic Impact of Health Investments” analyzes the substantial economic and social benefits derived from enhanced investments in preventive healthcare and health infrastructure in Romania. Conducted under the Aspen Institute Romania’s Healthcare & Quality of Life Program, the paper emphasizes strategic shifts towards prevention, equitable health access, and infrastructure development as key drivers for boosting productivity, fiscal stability, and overall economic resilience.

The research highlights scenarios demonstrating significant potential economic gains from reducing premature mortality and morbidity through targeted healthcare spending. It underscores the urgency of adopting comprehensive preventive measures, investing in hospital and outpatient care infrastructure, and addressing regional disparities to ensure sustainable growth and improved quality of life.
