Who can be a member?

Any Romanian legal entity or authorized natural person who manages and utilizes capital for profit in competitive conditions and commits to comply with the Statute of the Employers’ Association, with the sole object of providing medical services as defined by the following CAEN codes, can become a member of the Employers’ Association:

The Employers’ Association has the following types of members:

  1. Founding members: Founding members are the signatories of the initial version of the statute. Founding members are legal entities or authorized natural persons who participated in the establishment of the initial patrimony and the creation of the association, as stated in the founding documents. To ensure the purpose for which the association was established and to enhance the association’s moral and professional profile, the founders are obligated to contribute to the initial social patrimony.
  2. Adherent members: Adherent members are individuals or legal entities who join the Employers’ Association after its legal establishment, under the conditions specified in the current statute. Any legally constituted legal entity or authorized natural person with full legal capacity and use, Romanian or foreign, can become an adherent member.
  3. Honorary members: Honorary members are individuals or legal entities, members or non-members of the association, proposed by the Board of Directors or the President of the Employers’ Association and approved by the General Assembly of Members. Honorary members are recognized for their professional and scientific achievements in the field of the association’s activity or for their overall support to the association in achieving its goals.

If you wish to contribute to our efforts to enhance the competitiveness of the Romanian business environment and become an influential factor in macroeconomic decisions related to the development of a patient-centered healthcare system, we invite you to join us.
