The event was hosted by Point Public Affairs and it brought together a range of contributors focusing on assessing the <strong>current state of play for healthcare in Romania<\/strong> as well as considering how in taking the <strong>European Council Presidency<\/strong> early in 2019 Romania can raise issues relating to health and social care. It was also pleasing to have positive feedback on EHMA&#8217;s presentation including reference made to it within the <a href=\"https:\/\/legalmagazin.ro\/conferinta-thinkhealth-editia-doua-punctul-de-inflexiune\/\">Romanian press<\/a>. It was evident that Romania is currently facing many challenges to seeking to take their healthcare system to the next level, but what I found encouraging was the willingness to assess how platforms such as e-health can support this process as well as the <strong>political commitment<\/strong> to include healthcare as an important theme within their upcoming Council Presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Having finished my presentation and spoken to other speakers and delegates I then went on to meet with an EHMA Individual Member Diana Pirjol who is currently a Gates Cambridge Fellow and independent healthcare consultant, having further discussions on healthcare in Romania with a focus on primary care development. On my second day I fly up to Cluj to make a presentation on <strong>EU health policy and practice<\/strong> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/publichealth.ro\"><strong>Cluj School of Public Health<\/strong><\/a>, before meeting with colleagues from the School including Executive Director Dr R\u0103zvan M. Chereche\u0219 and Dr Marius Ungureanu, a regular EHMA Annual Conference attendee and contributor on health workforce matters as well as Mihai Negrea, another of our Individual Members and a contributor to Young EHMA.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to helping EHMA to gain a fuller insight into the challenges and opportunities facing the Romanian health system, I was also to discuss ways in which <strong>EHMA could offer tangible support to improving health management capacity and capabilities<\/strong>. This will be taken forward at our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehma2018.org\">Annual Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Budapest this June, when I will join a group of colleagues from Romania to develop a set of in person and e-learning educational and training opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Usman Khan, EHMA Executive Director I was very pleased to have been invited as EHMA Director to speak at the Think Health Conference in Bucharest on February 19th.
