Hungary has the weakest healthcare system in the Central-European region

According to the number of deaths in the country every year, the number of people with circulatory and digestive system diseases, and residents with tumours and cancer, the situation regarding Hungarian people’s health and the healthcare system is the worst and weakest in the Central-European region.

Népszava reported that after examining the Central-European countries (Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia), it seems that Hungary is the last in almost every healthcare statistical data. The number of Hungarians with chronic diseases rapidly increases day by day. Although the average lifetime a Hungarian resident from the day of birth increased in the last 15–20 years, many of them die in the country before reaching the estimated amount of years.

More than half of the Hungarian nation above fifteen is diagnosed or has been diagnosed with chronic diseases in the last few years. The most common ones are high blood pressure, waist and back pain, and joint diseases. Every eighth people above fifteen suffers from some type of allergy, high cholesterol, and neck pain with heart problems and diabetes.

A recent study revealed the health state of the countries in the world. Unfortunately, Central Europe did not do particularly well, and Hungary ended up among the unhealthiest countries.
