| 1 | The General Assembly, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Recalling the purposes and principles of the United Nations as set forth in the Charter, particularly |
| 4 | the improvement of adequate healthcare for all Romanian citizens. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Recognizing the importance of accessible and quality healthcare as a fundamental human right, as |
| 7 | enshrined in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that "Everyone |
| 8 | has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his |
| 9 | family, and the right to medical care and necessary social services, " |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Acknowledging the concerns raised by Romania regarding the inadequacy of its healthcare system, |
| 12 | as evidenced by its ranking as 69th out of 195 countries in terms of healthcare quality and last |
| 13 | among Europe's 50 countries. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Emphasizing the need for urgent and comprehensive action to address these healthcare challenges |
| 16 | and ensure that every citizen of Romania has access to healthcare services, including social |
| 17 | services, medicine, physical therapy, and vaccines. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Calls upon the international community to provide technical and financial assistance to Romania in |
| 20 | order to strengthen its healthcare infrastructure, improve medical facilities, and enhance the |
| 21 | training and capacity of healthcare professionals. The physician density (doctor to total population |
| 22 | ratio) of Romania is 5.3/10,000 people which is far less than Norway's physician density, |
| 23 | (35/10,000) a density which reflects the best overall healthcare system in all NATO countries. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Considering the size of the countries, Romania has a far greater population density which should |
| 26 | allow there to be more doctors, but unfortunately, Norway, which has a lower population density, |
| 27 | exhibits far more doctors. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Urges member states to collaborate with Romania in developing and implementing healthcare |
| 30 | policies and programs that prioritize equitable access to healthcare services, with a focus on |
| 31 | vulnerable and marginalized populations; |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Encourages the World Health Organization (WHO) and other relevant international organizations to |
| 34 | provide technical expertise and support to Romania in the development and implementation of a |
| 35 | national healthcare strategy aimed at achieving universal healthcare coverage and improving |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Calls for the establishment of partnerships between Romania and donor countries, international |
| 38 | organizations, and non-governmental organizations to mobilize resources, share best practices, |
| 39 | and enhance healthcare delivery in Romania; |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Calls upon member states to facilitate the exchange of medical expertise, research, and |
| 42 | knowledge-sharing with Romania to strengthen its healthcare sector and improve healthcare |
| 43 | quality; |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Urges Romania to prioritize the development and implementation of comprehensive healthcare |
| 46 | policies that address not only curative but also preventive healthcare measures, including |
| 47 | vaccination programs and public health education; |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Invites the international community to monitor and assess progress in Romania's healthcare |
| 50 | system and provide periodic reports and recommendations to ensure the effective implementation |
| 51 | of this resolution; |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Decides to remain seized of this matter and requests the Secretary-General to report on the |
| 54 | progress of healthcare improvement efforts in Romania in subsequent sessions of the General |
| 55 | Assembly. |
