Diseases[edit]
The main causes of death in 2004 in Romania were cardiovascular disease (62%), followed by malignant tumors (17%), digestive diseases (6%), accidents, injuries and poisoning (5%), and respiratory diseases (5%).[1] Deaths from external causes and from infectious and parasitic diseases are more common in Romania (4–5%) than in other EU member states.[2] It is estimated that a fifth of the total population of Romania suffers from a communicable or chronic disease.[3]
There were 17,283 people with tuberculosis in 2008. The mortality rate is 31.8 people per 1,000 infected citizens.[4] Some statistics show that 30,000 people have been infected with tuberculosis, making it the third-highest rate among countries in Eastern Europe.[5]
Approximately 3.7% of the total population of Romania is either a carrier or affected by hepatitis.[6]
Less than 1% of the total population of Romania is a carrier or infected with HIV.[7] The most common cause of getting HIV is sharing needles. The first case of AIDS in Romania was diagnosed in 1985, and in 1989 cases have been reported in children.[8] Between 1985 and 2014 were reported 19,906 cases, 6,540 deaths, respectively (468 new cases per year).[9]
Romania had the fifth-highest mortality in Europe, at 691 per 100,000 population, and the fourth-highest death rate from communicable diseases in 2015.[10]
