Abstract:
Since march 2020, the public attention continues to be focused upon the social and economic effects of
the unprecedented, for at least one century, sanitary crisis, and about the measures in order to combat the viral
spreading, as the basic approach for a pursued back to normality. During this period, each ”wave” continues to
test the resilience of the sanitary system from a multiple perspective: human resources, endowment with
equipments, and access to medical supplies. The aim of this paper is to analyze the human resources motivation
policies applied in case of Romanian sanitary staff, trying to evaluate both their effectiveness and financial
impact. Starting from the evaluations conducted both by the multiannual national budgetary comparison, and
through reference to the European context, the conclusions try to outline the future developments in order to
ensure the necessary balance between the costs effectiveness, on the one side, and, on the other side, the human
resources motivation policies, as a prerequisite for the proper accomplishment of the sanitary system’ mission,
that is, the health protection of the population.
