The government will develop the villages until there is sufficient incentive for the young people born there to stay in their native village, create a home for themselves and start a family.
So far, 600 medical clinics have been renovated with the resources of the Hungarian village program, Seregélyesen, the government commissioner responsible for the development of modern settlements of the Prime Minister's Office, said on Thursday.
Alpár Gyopáros added at the handover of the renovated doctor's office in the Vnohehe district of the Mezőföld village: when the program started, the villages' clinics and their medical equipment were outdated, and there were few family doctors.
In addition to the renovation of medical clinics, we replaced the entire equipment in 1,700 locations with modern ones, and to reduce the shortage of family doctors, we started a service housing program, and from the second half of 2019, we saved 178 family doctor practices in the villages, said Gyopáros.
"It is our belief that we will continue the Hungarian village program until we stop the population decline of all Hungarian settlements," declared the government commissioner, emphasizing that the villages will be developed until there is sufficient incentive for the young people born there to stay in their home villages create for themselves and start a family.
