Doctors demonstrate for healthcare reform in Budapest due to huge defects in healthcare system
Change language:
On Saturday, a significant demonstration took place in Budapest’s Kossuth Square, organised by the Hungarian Medical Chamber (Magyar Orvosi Kamara, MOK) and the Hungarian Doctors’ Union (Magyar Orvosok Szakszervezete, MOSZ). The event, titled “Joint Stand for a Better Healthcare System,” aimed to highlight the urgent need for comprehensive reforms in the Hungarian healthcare sector. The organisers emphasised that the current state of healthcare affects everyone, regardless of political affiliations, and thus encouraged all citizens to participate.
Most important issues in Hungarian healthcare
The demonstration focused on several critical problems plaguing the healthcare system:
- Overcrowding in hospitals: The lack of adequate facilities and resources has led to severe overcrowding, impacting the quality of care.
- Collapsing primary care system: The primary healthcare network is struggling, with a significant shortage of general practitioners.
- Inadequate funding and outdated equipment: The sector faces insufficient financial support, leading to outdated medical equipment and facilities.
- Growing waiting lists: Patients often face long waiting times for treatments, exacerbating health issues.
- Preventable deaths and illnesses: Thousands of deaths and illnesses could be avoided with proper healthcare.
- Shortage of doctors and nurses: The persistent shortage of medical professionals further strains the system.
Doctors call for a significant reform
The organisers stressed that the Hungarian healthcare system has not seen meaningful reforms in over three decades, Telex wrote. Péter Álmos, President of the MOK, noted that the state fails to provide sufficient resources, and political leaders were advised to refrain from attending the event to maintain its non-partisan nature.
Hungary, under the Orban led Fidesz Government, not of Respect nor Friendship with country’s of DEMOCRACY in Europe & Globally, with mounting PRESSURIZATION on Orban and his Fidesz Government, from the following (3) three MAJOR sectors that are NEED’s of a country, through the support of a Government, that the Orban – Fidesz Government – have FAILED.
The (3) three ;
(1) – Education.
(2) – Judiciary.
(3) – Medical Profession.
When a government such is FACT with the Orban led Fidesz Government fail to PRIORITIZE – in the case of (1) to (3) – referred in this commentary, the VITALNESS of there PLACE in FUNCTIONALITY of a country, the NEED’s of the People, the tax payers of Hungary, that through lack of INVESTMENT – funding, what we are seeing BUILDING rightfully in Hungary, the government of the day – Orban & his Fidesz Government are DESERVING to be MAULED.
The (3) – the systems besides renumeration of salary, they have been ABUSED.
We know – through FACT, this Orban led Fidesz Government, are placed on a “cliffs” lege, that nears them being a Bankrupt Government.
Orban and his Fidesz Government – have NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING left to GIVE to Hungary and NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to INVESTMENT into Hungary for present time and into the FUTURE.
Orban and his Fidesz Government, the destroyers of our European Union Membership and the GARGANTUAN Fine Debt – that increases GROW’S – daily – OWED to the European Union, and that there will be NO “life-lines” from Brussels, to “Bail Out” – the Orban led Fidesz Government, in its Financial and Economic CATASTROPHE.
The PICTURE keeps Expanding – Growing, the abuse, the neglect, the incompetence, the FAILINGS of Prioritization – practices, of this Orban led Fidesz Government, in the SLAUGHTER – they have INFLICTED on Hungary.
Don’t look for INVESTMENT in any shape of FORM – from the Orban led Fidesz Government as it will be AGAIN – just PROPAGANDA driven – CRAP.
I will blame Orban and Fidesz especially for the Third World state of health care in Hungary but to put things into perspective we need to consider demographics. This applies to everything. The baby boom generation has now reached its’ senior years. While they were working we had fantastic productivity everywhere. Now when they are retiring they are a massive draw on the pension system and due to advanced age on the health care system. This is a problem everywhere and the difference is in how each country deals with it.
