HISTORY AND METHOD OF MONITORING THE HEALTH OF THE POPULATION IN HUNGARY
Abstract:
World Health Organization (WHO) recommend nations to set up healthcare policies on the basis of epidemiological data related to the general health status of the population acquired through up to date and sustainable permanent health status monitoring, including people in good health who are not dealing with the healthcare system. In the last 50 years, in Hungary, several studies were accomplished with regard to the health status of the population, acquiring knowledge leading to a specific and sustainable system, appropriate with the EU’s aquis communautaire and other international recommendations on monitoring the health status. Linking these data to the official statistics of the institutions working on healthcare and social assistance regarding the reports on morbidity, every three years, a short national report on the health status of Hungary is issued for policy makers and a detailed one for the experts of all health fields.
