The GENERAL objective of the project is to improve the level of competence for a number of 900 professionals involved in the priority areas of health, to ensure increased access to affordable, sustainable and high-quality services in the field of healthcare. The target group will include 810 professionals involved in health priority areas from the less developed regions of Romania, mainly from the South-West Oltenia Region and 90 professionals involved in the priority areas of health in Bucharest-Ilfov Region (representing at least 10 % of the target group). During the 3 years of implementation, out of the 900 professionals involved in the priority areas of health belonging to the target group, 120 will participate in transnational training courses and exchange of experience, and 780 will participate national EMC training courses, targeting as field of specific professional training at least one of the priority areas of the priority health programs, respectively those related to the following fields: women’s and children’s health, major non-communicable diseases, communicable diseases, mental health, rare diseases (including medical genetics). Thus, courses will be organised within the national training for 690 participants in the 2-3 years of the project, and for 90 persons from the target group it will be foreseen to reimburse the costs of training and examination fees in year 1. For most health indicators, Romania shows substantial disparities from the European Union average and records the lowest or almost weakest performance. Infant and maternal mortality are up to 3 times above European averages. An important deficiency is health services that are underdeveloped and not adapted to the needs of beneficiaries. Health inequities are generated by unequal access to health services, their sub-optimal integration and the lack of coverage with services as close as possible to the community. Within the South-West Oltenia region, there was a decrease in the population, determined mainly by the negative natural growth generated by the higher manifestation of mortality, compared to the birth rate, as well as by the internal and international migration phenomenon of the population to other areas of the country and abroad. The economic and social evolution of the South-West Oltenia Development Region during the transition period strongly influenced the health of the population and, implicitly, its mortality. Thus, the analysis of the data provided by Eurostat shows that in 2012 the level of child mortality rate in the South-West Oltenia Region is almost three times higher than the average level at Community level. On average, mortality recorded a higher value in rural areas and a lower level in the urban environment. That’s how. The South-West Oltenia region is experiencing a demographic decline, a phenomenon that can lead to, in the run
