New on-call system in Budapest soon
The new on-call system will be launched in Budapest in October, Péter Takács said at a conference organised by the GPs Online Organisation on Friday, Economx reports.
Attila Keczéry, a GP from Zugló, who was present at the conference, confirmed the information of Takács to 24.hu. Keczéry added that the Minister of State did not give any details other than the date of introduction, only that the decree will be published in the Hungarian Gazette on the day after the election, i.e. on Monday.
The new on-call system was launched in Hajdú-Bihar County on 1 February last year, after a one-and-a-half-year trial period. Due to its complexity, the capital is the last place where the on-call service is being restructured.

Already (deadly) accidents happened on the countryside in places who had an emergency doctor (who was taken away by Fidesz) with this irresponsible “new” on call system! Simply because there was no doctor or ambulance nearby.
Emergency medical help is most of the time 30 to 90 minutes away, if the on call doctor is available. Which a lot of times is not the case. Most ambulance stations in the countryside only have one car available in the evenings/nights and weekends. If that car is gone, there is no emergency medical help nearby.
In other words, these Fidesz criminals took away real emergency medical help from the large part of the population. Not because it is a better system how Fidesz is promoting it, but just to safe money, so they can spend it on their “projects”.
The countryside must organize an emergency medical system themselves, as a little accident can become deadly, because Fidesz is not their friend.
