Cheap healthcare destinations in Romania

Why is Romania a good destination for cheap healthcare

Maybe you are already aware, that Romania is an excellent destinations for your holiday. We have everything necessary for that, starting from infrastructure up to the people. The Romanians are mostly fine, polite and educated, and always ready to offer help is necessary.

The fact and the reality is that your doctor /physician might be an excellent information source for Romania and your possible trip to Romania. Most probably, he is Romanian, or has a Romanian friend, as very many Romanian doctors emigrated, due to the low wages in Romania. This matter turns to be an outrageous brain drain, while the country desperately needs good specialists.

But we still have a bunch of leading experts in different fields of medical science, mainly in the big cities hosting a High Medical School. I have already introduced to you more times these wonderful cities, I must only repeat now the names with the new necessary mentions. The European citizens only need a valid insurance.

1.Bucharest, as the country capital, has also the best possibilities for offering a good diagnostic and treatment in its many hospitals and clinics. Since almost 50 years the renowned gerontologist Ana Aslan has developed its innovative treatment against all the problems caused by the aging. Meanwhile she died, but has other smart doctors carrying further its ideas and treatment lines, based on the special products Aslavital and Gerovital.

The High medical School from Bucharest is one of the best worldwide

2.Iasi is a picturesque city and with an excellent Medicine School.

3.Targu Mures, a nice multicultural city in the middle of Transilvania, has a significant tradition in fighting and curing heart diseases.

4.Cluj-Napoca, as a regional center of Transilvania with an elevated cultural life, has also long traditions in healthcare. Emil Hateganu e.g. is a famous name among the doctors of Cluj Napoca, whose name is cared by Medicine School and clinics. 

Cluj Napoca is a fabulous city you can enjoy, and besides you can have a good healthcare

5.Timisoara has a lot of things to say in the field of healthcare, counting some interesting and particular contributions.

Everybody likes Timisoara, it is indeed very nice, with very good expert doctors

Besides, during the last years emerged other Medical High Schools in Brasov and Craiova. As I am not neither a doctor, nor an expert in healthcare, I only want to open you another horizon about Romania. All the details are to be collected further  from experts and specialists. I also can promise to update my knowledge and information in this fantastic field and to stay to your disposal.

A simple fact is not a secret anymore for anyone: on the Romanian western border, in cities like Satu Mare, Oradea, Arad the teeth doctors e.g. are very in, and have many clients coming from Hungary and Austria, mainly. The explanation is easy to imagine: they are very good doctors with excellent reputation, and the prices in Romania are still lower comparing to those countries.

The best spa retreats in Romania

There are many possibilities to relax in Romania, and I have presented a few of them, and I would like to keep on!

About relaxing, maybe I should remember you that Ana Aslan was a famous gerontologyst, living in Romania and leading even in the tough Ceausescu times rejuvenating cures.  Bucharest was a world capital of gerontology, and many world leaders and prominents have been cured here. Ana Aslan had a legendary vitality and died in a good menthal shape at 90 years. Many of her medicines are still made in Romania, and largely used in the today spa retreats.

And there is another important fact I will reveal to you: the Romanian Transilvania has a huge geothermal potential, it lies literally on a underground sea of hot water, and has an unbelievable geothermal potential. Many of the popular water pools in Oradea are based on this hot water, which is also excellent for fighting against rheumatism, carrying many salts and minerals.Several cities in transilvania are heated with these hot waters and heating pumps.

So, the result is that Romania could be a spa paradise, which is not totally true, as this kind of tourism has been neglected a long period! nevertheless, there are a bunch of excellent spa retreats you should count, if you wanna feel better and looking as the 18 years! Besides, you will agree that most of Romanian hotels have a very relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, during these long  medical cures ( at least 2 weeks) you may drink only two glasses of wine, once to the dinner and once to the lunch (forget the third, to the breakfast!). But count on me for recommending the right wines!

In my opinion, the following resorts deserve to be nominated as the best Romanian spa retreats :

1. Baile Felix, where a series of proofed treatments are being executed in the many hotels of the resort. Baile Felix lies on an underground hot water sea, amazing!. Visit the Hotels Nufarul and Continental, and book also a rejuvenating Aslan treatment.

2. Baile Herculane has been correctly evaluated even by the Romans, 2000 years ago!  The strong Hercules himself visited the resort and took a refreshing bath there! 150 years ago was at the peak of its glory, many elites from Vienna and Budapest came here for relaxing.

3.Techirghiol carries the name of a neighboring lake, whose sapropelic mood has special properties against rheumatism. Has also a good tradition; also the Romanian Black Sea coast is there and you have a wide selection of ways to have fun.
