The Minister of Human Resources, Prof. Dr. Miklós Kásler, reported on the results of the development of several health institutions in the past two weeks. Developments in Hungarian healthcare, including the Healthy Budapest Program, are ongoing and the work will not stop in the future. In the 2022 budget, approximately HUF 2,884 billion will be available for health purposes, which means an increase of almost two and a half times compared to the 2010 budget submitted by the left.

Within the framework of the EBP, the most significant procurement of medical technology equipment of the first half of this year was completed for 6 hospitals in the capital and Pest County, which institutions gained 377 pieces of modern equipment worth HUF 2.5 billion. Among the acquired equipment are various intensive therapy equipment, anesthesia and ventilation machines, patient monitoring systems, operating room equipment and surgical instruments, hospital furniture, as well as equipment for sterilizing and ophthalmology and gastroenterology examinations.

Within the framework of the development, from HUF 1.2 billion, a combined imaging and operating room reflecting the most modern technological solutions, the so-called the creation of a hybrid operating theater was realized in the Accident Center of the Péterfy Hospital-Operating Office and the Jenő Manner National Traumatology Institute on Fiumei Street. Among the equipment purchased for the operating room is a high-tech surgical navigation system worth HUF 500 million, which helps the doctor performing the operation to perform the most accurate intervention possible. At the same time, the world-class operating room created at the Institute of Traumatology also created the technical conditions for the institution to become an East-Central European robotic surgery and training center in the near future.

The development of the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Hospital and Clinic in Gyömrő (2230 Gyömrő, Szent István út 15.) is being implemented with a HUF 311 million EBP grant - with the help of the local government. With the handover of the work area, construction works will begin within 2-3 weeks in both buildings of the clinic, on a total area of ​​755 m2 (renovation of patient and office rooms, replacement of windows and doors, building mechanical and electrical reconstruction, construction of a new water block and barrier-free toilet, etc.), as well as the institution is also expanding with a 13-space parking lot.

In connection with the development, medical technology and IT development, as well as the purchase of furniture, will be implemented. Of the medical technology devices, HUF 50 million worth have already been purchased, e.g. ECG and ultrasound examination devices, digital X-ray and ambulatory blood pressure measurement systems, while preparations for further acquisitions are underway.

As part of this, a new Diagnostic Center will be created with HUF 375 million, where three diagnostic units will be set up: an MR scanner, a CT scanner, and a whole-body bone density scanner (DEXA). In connection with this, an MR and bone density measurement equipment will be purchased for HUF 400 million, and 30 new parking spaces will also be created for easier access.

Another medical technology development at the Dél-Pest Centrumkórház-National Institute of Hematology and Infectology. Thanks to the EBP, new modern medical technology devices worth a total of HUF 885 million will be purchased for the institution. The public procurement procedures have been completed and the contracts have been concluded.
