Romania's medical endoscope market is progressing alongside the modernization of its healthcare system, supported by EU structural funds and national programs. The country faces a significant burden of gastrointestinal diseases and cancer, especially in rural and underserved areas, increasing the importance of endoscopic diagnostics. While public hospitals often operate with outdated equipment, ongoing modernization efforts are facilitating the introduction of high-definition and more efficient endoscopy technologies. Advanced and single-use endoscopes are increasingly being adopted by private clinics in major urban centers. Challenges remain, including limited healthcare budgets, staff shortages, and slow procurement procedures. Nonetheless, growing public awareness, broader insurance coverage, and the expansion of outpatient diagnostic centers are driving higher procedure volumes. Romania is gradually moving toward European standards for infection control and minimally invasive surgeries, presenting promising long-term opportunities for endoscope manufacturers willing to address regulatory hurdles and invest in local training and infrastructure support.
