Abstract
The public-private partnership within the health public system from Romania is highly developed. The adoption of the public-private partnership is the alternative to attenuate the significant deficit of financial resources assigned to the health public system, the limitation and low quality of the medical service offer, as well as the discrepancy between the medical service demand and offer. There are difficult and debatable issues on the public-private partnership within the health public system from Romania. The undertaken research has as objective the identification of the degree of information transparency in respect of the public-private partnership in the public hospitals subordinated to the Health Ministry. The research has two dimensions. The first one takes into account the identification of approaches regarding the public-private partnership at the level of the professional literature and the regulations in the field. The second dimension features a qualitative research in respect of the degree of information transparency regarding the public-private partnership in the public hospitals subordinated to the Health Ministry. The results of the study show the limitation of the information transparency concerning the public-private partnership, as well as the heterogeneousness of this information from dimensional and temporal points of view.
