​The procedure applies exclusively in cases where midwives who benefit from automatic professional recognition in the territory of the EU, EEA or in the Swiss Confederation established for the purpose of exercising the profession in one of these states, travel to the territory of Romania to temporarily or occasionally perform midwifery activities.
​

Particularities:

The temporary or occasional nature of midwifery activities is determined, on a case-by-case basis, by the Order of General Nurses, Midwives and Nurses from Romania (OAMGMAMR), depending on their duration, frequency, periodicity and continuity. During the provision of services, the respective midwives:

- exercise the profession on the territory of Romania with the professional title of midwife;

- are exempted from the obligation to register with OAMGMAMR and from paying the membership fee; - are automatically registered with OAMGMAMR for the duration of the provision of the respective services; - are subject to professional, regulatory or administrative provisions regarding professional qualifications and the use of titles, provisions regarding serious professional acts that directly and specifically affect the protection and safety of the beneficiaries of the services provided, as well as disciplinary provisions stipulated by law for Romanian citizen midwives, members of OAMGMAMR; - are exempted from the accreditation procedure provided by the health insurance legislation. Provider midwives have the obligation to inform the National Health Insurance House in advance about the services they are about to provide on the territory of Romania, and in case of emergency, within a maximum of 7 days from their provision.

Procedure description:

I. Upon receipt of the declaration, OAMGMAMR verifies the documents and, as the case may be, requests the provider to supplement missing documents; Within 30 days from the submission of the complete file, the applicant’s documents are analyzed by the OAMGMAMR Commission for the recognition of the qualifications of general nurse, midwife and nurse obtained in another EU Member State, in a state belonging to the EEA or in the Swiss Confederation. Its proposal is forwarded to the President who approves the automatic temporary registration of the applicant with OAMGMAMR and the authorization of the temporary provision of midwifery services in Romania.

The authorization for the temporary provision of midwifery services and, respectively, the automatic temporary registration with OAMGMAMR is communicated to the applicant and the OAMGMAMR branch in the territorial area of the health unit in which he/she is to provide the services concerned in Romania.

II. In case of renewal of the prior declaration, after verifying the temporary and occasional character of the provision of services by the OAMGMAMR Commission for the recognition of the qualifications of general nurse, midwife and nurse obtained in another EU Member State, in a state belonging to the EEA or in the Swiss Confederation, the President of OAMGMAMR approves the authorization of the temporary provision of midwifery services and, respectively, the applicant’s automatic temporary registration with OAMGMAMR, within 30 days from receipt of the declaration. These are communicated to the applicant and the OAMGMAMR branch in the territorial area of the health unit in which he/she is to provide the midwifery services concerned in Romania. In case of lack of response from OAMGMAMR within the term mentioned in points I and II, the services may be provided.
