General Market Condition: No Restrictions, but Public Institutions Cannot Buy with State-Guaranteed Loans
Are there special restrictions or tariffs that apply to used equipment that do not apply to new medical equipment?
Customs tariffs for used equipment are similar to the ones for new equipment
The Ministry of Health and Family (Ministerului Sanatatii si Familiei—MSF) does not acquire refurbished medical devices through sovereign guarantees
The refurbishment program applies to the existing pieces of equipment already operational on the Romanian market
Can public health institutions buy used or refurbished Medical devices?
MSF is not allowed to make purchases in a centralized manner based on state guaranteed loans.
Is there a market for used of refurbished devices?
In Romania there is a market for used or refubished medical devices, but this is currently not well-defined.
If there is a market, what types of used or refurbished medical equipment are in the greatest demand?
As the size of this market has not been determined yet, it is difficult to establish its structure. Checking up on the private market of medical services may be beneficial although it is unlikely that a relevant database might exist.
