==Status of public health==
| Name = Suicide Invoice
Health care is more generally poor by European standards, and access is limited in many rural areas. In 2001 health expenditures were equal to 6.5 percent of gross domestic product. In 2005 there were 1.9 physicians and 7.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people. The state-owned health care system was a target of the campaign to decentralize state services that President Basescu began in 2006. The system has been funded by the National Health Care Insurance Fund, to which employers and employees make mandatory contributions. Private health insurance has developed slowly. Because of low public funding, about 36 percent of the population’s health care spending is out-of-pocket. Bribes frequently are paid to gain improved treatment.<ref name=cp>[http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/profiles/Romania.pdf Romania country profile].

The most common causes of death are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and viral hepatitis are more common than elsewhere in Europe. The incidence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has been less than 0.1 percent. However, high rates of venereal disease, lack of education about HIV prevention, and increasing intravenous drug use are factors that could increase the rate substantially in the future. The number of pediatric AIDS cases is one of the highest in Europe because of unsafe blood transfusion and inoculation procedures for young children in hospitals and clinics in the last years of the communist era. In 2006 an estimated 7,200 Romanians below age 20 had been infected in this way.<ref name=cp/>
'''''Suicide Invoice''''' is the second album by the [[San Diego, California]] [[rock music|rock]] band [[Hot Snakes]], released in 2002 by [[Swami Records]]. It was recorded in a similar manner to the band's previous album ''[[Automatic Midnight]]'', with guitarist John Reis taking time off from his main band [[Rocket From the Crypt]]. As a visual artist and illustrator singer/guitarist [[Rick Froberg]] provided the album's artwork, while Reis released the album through his Swami Records label.


==Romanian health system history==
In comparison to the band's previous album ''Automatic Midnight'', ''Suicide Invoice'' is slightly slower paced and more experimental, incorporating [[Organ (music)|organ]]s and [[melodica]]s which the band had not used before. It is also less aggressive and primal than their subsequent album ''[[Audit in Progress]]''.
===Romanian hospitals===
[[Colţea Hospital]] was built by [[Mihai Cantacuzino]] between 1701 and 1703, composed of many buildings, each with 12 to 30 beds, a church, three chapels, a school, and doctors' and teachers' houses.


[[Pantelimon Hospital]] was raised in 1733 by [[Grigore II Ghica]]. The surface area of the Pantelimon Hospital land property was 4,000,000 m². The hospital had in its inventory a house for infectious diseases and a house for persons with disabilities.
As with ''Automatic Midnight'', touring in support of ''Suicide Invoice'' was limited due to the band members residing on opposite sides of the country, though they were able to tour the [[United States]]. The following year drummer [[Jason Kourkounis]] departed the band and Reis resumed full-time work with Rocket From the Crypt. The band would reunite in 2004 for another album and more extensive touring, replacing Kourkounis with Rocket From the Crypt drummer [[Mario Rubalcaba]].


[[Filantropia Hospital]] had a capacity of 70 beds and was built in 1806-1812, during the Russian occupation.

By tradition, the access of the poor or the disavantaged to the Romanian healthcare system was free. (There are many documented examples regarding this, such as Alexandu Ipsilanti's order of [[20 November]] [[1820]] or Thornton's travel book from 1812, or some official documents of the Romanian government dating to 1811.)

The Romanian healthcare system has been in existence since 1700. At that time, the doctors were primarily from France, Italy or Austria (in Transylvania). The first Romanian doctors graduated with degrees in medicine from universities in Vienna and Paris at the beginning of the 19th century (such as Ştefan Manega or Ioan Serafim).

The Romanian healthcare system has many an unsung hero. In Bucharest 1928; 21 doctors, of a total of 26 in the city at the time, died of plague whilst administering treatment for the disease.

===Vaccination===
Smallpox [[vaccination]] was used since 1800. Iacob Polaryno ([[Constantin Brâncoveanu]]'s doctor) published a theory for smallpox prevention in 1715 in Venice.

Considering the small number of personnel in the healthcare system in 1815 and the danger of epidemics, a way to work around the problem was found. The vaccination procedure was taught in theology schools, so smallpox was not prevented using Orthodox priests.

Status of public health

Health care is more generally poor by European standards, and access is limited in many rural areas. In 2001 health expenditures were equal to 6.5 percent of gross domestic product. In 2005 there were 1.9 physicians and 7.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people. The state-owned health care system was a target of the campaign to decentralize state services that President Basescu began in 2006. The system has been funded by the National Health Care Insurance Fund, to which employers and employees make mandatory contributions. Private health insurance has developed slowly. Because of low public funding, about 36 percent of the population’s health care spending is out-of-pocket. Bribes frequently are paid to gain improved treatment.[1]

The most common causes of death are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and viral hepatitis are more common than elsewhere in Europe. The incidence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has been less than 0.1 percent. However, high rates of venereal disease, lack of education about HIV prevention, and increasing intravenous drug use are factors that could increase the rate substantially in the future. The number of pediatric AIDS cases is one of the highest in Europe because of unsafe blood transfusion and inoculation procedures for young children in hospitals and clinics in the last years of the communist era. In 2006 an estimated 7,200 Romanians below age 20 had been infected in this way.[1]

Romanian health system history

Romanian hospitals

Colţea Hospital was built by Mihai Cantacuzino between 1701 and 1703, composed of many buildings, each with 12 to 30 beds, a church, three chapels, a school, and doctors' and teachers' houses.

Pantelimon Hospital was raised in 1733 by Grigore II Ghica. The surface area of the Pantelimon Hospital land property was 4,000,000 m². The hospital had in its inventory a house for infectious diseases and a house for persons with disabilities.

Filantropia Hospital had a capacity of 70 beds and was built in 1806-1812, during the Russian occupation.

From 1830 onwards, the health system in Romania was centralized. The name of the organisation was Civil Hospitals Eforia.

By tradition, the access of the poor or the disavantaged to the Romanian healthcare system was free. (There are many documented examples regarding this, such as Alexandu Ipsilanti's order of 20 November 1820 or Thornton's travel book from 1812, or some official documents of the Romanian government dating to 1811.)

In 1830 the Brâncoveanu Hospital was inaugurated.

Romanian doctors

The Romanian healthcare system has been in existence since 1700. At that time, the doctors were primarily from France, Italy or Austria (in Transylvania). The first Romanian doctors graduated with degrees in medicine from universities in Vienna and Paris at the beginning of the 19th century (such as Ştefan Manega or Ioan Serafim).

The Romanian healthcare system has many an unsung hero. In Bucharest 1928; 21 doctors, of a total of 26 in the city at the time, died of plague whilst administering treatment for the disease.

Vaccination

Smallpox vaccination was used since 1800. Iacob Polaryno (Constantin Brâncoveanu's doctor) published a theory for smallpox prevention in 1715 in Venice.
