The development of the Hungarian healthcare system is underway with great efforts, so that it can start functioning in a condition corresponding to the standards of the age at the end of the pandemic, said the Minister of Human Resources at the handover of the renovated urology department of the Jahn Ferenc South Pest Hospital.
He added: the purpose of the developments is to enable the Hungarian healthcare system to start operating in a condition that meets the standards of the age when the pandemic
ends. He recalled: in the last ten years, the rural supply system was renovated with 500 billion forints , now the central region is being developed with 750 billion forints.
He said that the development of the infrastructure, together with the professional knowledge accumulated in Hungarian medicine over the past two hundred years, "means the future".
The minister said that the traditions of the Jahn Ferenc Dél-Pest Hospital, founded in 1980, are significant, especially in terms of urology, and he himself was treated here in 2004. He said that in the Healthy Budapest Program (EBP), the urology department at the central site of the hospital was renovated with more than HUF 550 million, the size of the renovated area is 750 square meters.
Member of Parliament Szilárd Németh (Fidesz) recalled: before 2010, the
government of that time closed four hospitals in Budapest, took money from doctors, they wanted to make health care pay and there were no improvements. He added: the Fidesz-KDNP government broke with this in 2010, the rural health institutions were developed with European Union funds, and when the country's economic situation made it possible, 750 billion HUF health development was started in the central region as well, and the current renovation is also part of this.
The state secretary thanked the hospital workers for their excellent performance and self-sacrificing work over the past year and a half, which they did to save the lives of the people in the area and to defeat the epidemic.
Zsolt Dobosi, the director general of Jahn Ferenc Dél-Pest Hospital, spoke about how the renovated urology department corresponds to the most modern suburbs in all its elements, the most modern technological achievements serve the needs of the hospital's patients and employees, and reminded that the hospital responsible for the care of 400,000 people is constantly developing , the introduction of modern technologies: the roof and facade insulation, the replacement of windows and doors are still ongoing, and robotic surgery technology is being introduced together with the National Oncology Institute.
