While the system resembles in many of its broad features those of other OECD countries, Hungarians have the lowest life expectancy in the OECD and its rate of increase over the last 20 years has been much slower than in the rest of the area. The Hungarian health system is relatively resource intensive and is characterised by high hospitalisation rates, an excess supply of specialists and perverse incentives both for doctors and hospital administrators. Budgetary rules prevent hospitals from properly amortising investments and limit their capacity to manage labour costs. Furthermore inadequate supervision of billing by the state administrator has led to a fraudulent inflation in both the number and the “seriousness” of treatments. Recent reforms have concentrated on containing costs but efforts to improve service delivery and health outcomes have been plagued by problems of institutional conflict.

For a Human Right to Pain Relief in Childbirth ema, The European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation FRANCESCA BASSO IN PAIN THOU SHALT BRING FORTH CHILDREN? FOR A HUMAN RIGHT TO PAIN RELIEF IN CHILDBIRTH FRANCESCA BASSO FOREWORD The European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation (EMA) is a one-year intensive programme launched in 1997 as a joint initiative of universities in all EU Member States with support from the European Commission. Based on an action- and policy-oriented approach to learning, it combines legal, political, historical, anthropological and philosophical perspectives on the study of human rights and democracy with targeted skills- building activities. The aim from the outset was to prepare young professionals to respond to the requirements and challenges of work in international organisations, field operations, governmental and non-governmental bodies, and academia. As a measure of its success, EMA has served as a model of inspiration for the establishment of six other EU-sponsored regional master’s programmes in the area of human rights and democratisation in different parts of the world. These programmes cooperate closely in the framework of the Global Campus of Human Rights, which is based in Venice, Italy. Ninety students are admitted to the EMA programme each year. During the first semester in Venice, students have the opportunity to meet and learn from leading academics, experts and representatives of international and non-governmental organisations. During the second semester, they relocate to one of the 41 participating universities to follow additional courses in an area of specialisation of their own choice and to conduct research under the supervision of the resident EMA Director or other academic staff.

  • Born in Corruption: Maternity Care After the Change of System in Hungary
    P a g e | 19 Born in Corruption: Maternity Care after the Change of System in Hungary Sarolta KREMMER Semmelweis University, Budapest [email protected] Abstract By today Hungarian maternity care is defined by both an over-medicalised approach to childbirth and an almost universal corruption problem. The current article aims to explore the relationship between technocratic maternity care and informal payments in Hungary, to provide a framework for understanding the context in which Hungarian women regularly engage with subsets of gendered corruption during the perinatal period. Looking at the development and current situation of modern maternity care in Hungary and assessing the historic development of public healthcare and micro-level corruption lays out the theoretical foundations for the article. Drawing on recent findings in the intersections of informal payments and maternity care the chosen doctor-driven subset of informal payments is introduced. Thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with maternity care professionals resulted in identifying 7 significant problem areas which are interlaced with corruption in maternity care. Revision of the selected interview excerpts led to the conclusion that in the Hungarian context modern, technocratic maternity care and gendered corruption (especially the chosen doctor - model of care) are interconnected and support each other. Further research is needed to discover how these phenomena became interlaced historically and to formulate women- centered policy recommendations for resolving this issue. Keywords: gender, maternity care, birth, corruption, informal payments. 1. Introduction Even though maternity services are publicly funded and free of charge, today, in 21st century Hungary, more than 60% of pregnant women plan to give birth with a personal obgyn contracted This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License ©Sarolta Kremmer.

  • GE Healthcare to Lead $5.3M Initiative in Home Health Care
    Hungarian government funds major research project to transform care of elderly citizens; GE Healthcare to lead $5.3M initiative in home health care. Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom and Budapest, Hungary – 20 th November 2008 A major new collaborative research programme to transform the care of elderly citizens was announced in Hungary today. A broad consortium of private and public sector organisations, led by GE Healthcare, a unit of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), has secured HUF 895 million (US $4.2 million) from the Hungarian government to research and develop new ways of monitoring the health of elderly citizens in their own homes. GE Healthcare will invest an additional HUF 238 million (US $1.1 million) in the programme. Beginning in 2008, the three year programme will bring together the expertise of healthcare companies with leading academic institutions. The consortium will develop integrated systems and processes for the remote monitoring of the health of elderly citizens, particularly those who suffer from neurological diseases such as stroke, dementia and depression. The consortium will also research and develop remote telemonitoring systems which monitor both activity levels and vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate, alerting caregivers to changes that may signal potential health issues or emergency situations. The consortium, led by GE Healthcare, includes Hungarian healthcare industry members Mednet 2000 Ltd. and Meditech Ltd., together with the University of Pannonia at Veszprem, the University of Szeged and the Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institution. The consortium will employ 71 researchers and associates, and will create 23 new jobs in Hungary. Welcoming the programme, Dr.
