%X This paper aims to analyse several inequalities in the Romanian healthcare system at regional level and to highlight the resemblances and the differences, taking into account the socio-economic development, the population health status and the material and human resources allocated to healthcare, in different Romanian regions. We use secondary data registered at NUTS 2 level for eight Romanian regions collected from Eurostat (2009 ¨C 2010). The results show large discrepancies between Romanian regions in most of analysed variables. Bucharest, North-West and West regions are characterized by a higher level of resources allocated to healthcare, a higher level of education and a lower poverty rate, unlike North-East, South-West and South regions, which display the opposite situation.
