Order no. 418 of 20 April 2005, published in the Official Monitor, provides for a National Catalogue of Programmes for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) studies – including homeopathy. This legislation regulates the competence of medical doctors, dentists and pharmacists and the requirements for its organisation and continuous professional development.
Since 2007 a new Law on Complementary and Alternative Medicine nr. 118/2007 regulates the activities and practices of CAM, including homeopathy, for illness prevention, health promotion and treatment of diseases.
Only medical doctors and dentists are allowed to practise homeopathy and other CAM modalities such as acupuncture and phytotherapy. CAM is regulated by the Ministry of Health and homeopathy, acupuncture and phytotherapy are recognised as an additional qualification only for medical doctors.
