Hungary’s united opposition pledges changes to health care
Change language:
Hungary’s united opposition have vowed to increase the number of health-care employees and set up a stand-alone health ministry if they win the April 3 general election.
Zoltan Komáromi, the Democratic Coalition’s (DK) health spokesman, pledged at an online press briefing to increase spending in proportion to GDP and narrow the spending gap with the European Union average. He also pledged to increase the number of health specialists and give paediatric nurses a pay rise.
Zoltan Szelényi of the Socialists said
the united opposition would establish a stand-alone health ministry and reinstall the State Public Health and Medical Officer Service with adequate financing and strong powers.
Gábor Havasi of Momentum said 17,000 health-care workers “have been chased away from the profession just in a single year”, adding that waiting times for certain types of scheduled surgery came to months or even years. Doctors, assistants and nurses were, he added, “overburdened and exhausted”.
Lie, Lie, Lie, and if at first you fail to suceed, lie again. Please do not believe anything the sausage coalition says.
History has shown that the promises of the left are rarely fulfilled. They will lie, cheat, and even murder to gain power.
