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

Particularities:

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

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

- are exempt from the obligation to register with OAMGMAMR and from paying the membership fee; - are automatically registered with OAMGMAMR during the provision of these 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 the disciplinary provisions provided by law for Romanian citizen midwives, members of OAMGMAMR; - are exempt from the accreditation procedure provided by the health social insurance legislation. The service-providing midwives are required to inform in advance the National Health Insurance House of the services they are about to provide in the territory of Romania, and in emergency situations, within a maximum of 7 days from the provision thereof.
