CNAS Healthcare Guide

Romania's public health insurance system for residents.

CNAS is Romania's public health insurance system. Access depends on employment, contributions, residence status, and category-specific rules.

Employees

Health contributions are generally handled through payroll, giving access to public healthcare once employment and insurance status are active.

Self-employed people and company owners should confirm contribution obligations with an accountant.

Many expats use private clinics for speed and English-language access even when they also have public coverage.
