The opposition Socialists said on Sunday that a “new era” was needed in Hungarian health care to be implemented through the “revolutionary programme” of the European Health Union.

Socialist MEP István Újhelyi told an online press conference on Facebook that the death of over 26,000 Hungarians caused by coronavirus

demonstrated the state of Hungary’s health-care system which he said directly resulted from “government carelessness” and policies that handled health care as a low priority.

  • Scientists, doctors slam Hungarian government criticism of western vaccines

He said the Socialists believe that access to health is a basic human right and the party accordingly gives highlighted priority to health-care service development in its programme.

The Socialists’ proposals include reduction of surgery waiting lists, the introduction of medicine subsidies based on social need, priority funding to ambulance services, the development of one-day health services and the introduction of financing that recognises the real costs of medical treatments, he said.

Újhelyi called for the introduction of a career model that ensures special benefits to lure back medical workers now in jobs abroad, and proposed that health spending should be defined as at least 7 percent of GDP.

    Everything that comes out of Brussels is like ‘DOGGIE-DOO’ : it looks like ..it and smells like ..it so it MUST be ..it !

    The Hungarian Socialists have always been ..its so there is no surprise that they support the so-called ‘European Health Union’ – which will naturally become anything BUT a ‘union’.

    What a bunch of totally incompetent idiots – who should be KICKED in their backsides by Hungarian voters at next year’s elections.
