Possibilities of pharmaceutical care in orthopedic practice
35-47Views:88Clinical pharmacy developed at the end of the 20th century in the United States of America, the undisclosed purpose of which is to expand the role of the pharmacist profession and to optimize patient-specific drug therapy. This change in attitude gave rise to the definition of pharmaceutical care, which gained ground both in the clinic and in public drug supply. While the effects of pharmaceutical care on the health care system can be better examined in the case of public drug supply chains with a larger number of patients, the role of care provided by clinical pharmacists in institutions providing orthopedic care has been little investigated, even though the available studies have yielded positive results regarding the quality and cost-effectiveness of health care.

65-74Views:177With the support of the Debrecen County Municipality at Pósa Street No. 1., a nationwide unique school health program has been launched at the Health Development Institute, which establishment was inaugurated on the 11th of October 2019 as part of the Clinical Center of the University of Debrecen. As it is well known, within the framework of the school health care program, operating on the basis of NM decrees 26/1997. (IX. 3.), 51/1997. (XII. 18.) and 33/1998. (VI. 24.), primary and secondary school students participate in mandatory screening tests every two years - during the so-called "indicator" years (the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th). The goal of DAEFI is to centralise school health objectives and additional examinations as part of a particular model program. After the coronavirus epidemic, the 2021/2022 academic year was the first full term when the screenings defined by the legislation could take place with the coordination of DAEFI, which preventive measures, with parental consent, were supplemented with an EKG examination as well as Prevention Lectures. We are now presenting the experiences of this first year.

Public and private health care as perceived by consumers in Hungary
14-22Views:441The scope of the study is the opinions of the Hungarian population on publicly and privately owned and financed health services. There is a relationship between the age group of consumers and the type of health service they find acceptable. Primary quantitative research (N=1196) shows that paying out of pocket for a service offered in a state-owned institution is unacceptable. The generation older than 54 years has the least experience with private healthcare, while those aged 36-41 years have the most. Hungarian adults consider private health services to be characterized by short waiting times, fast appointment booking, more human treatment, patient-centredness, and a pleasant environment compared to publicly funded care.

The implications of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for the care of psychiatric patients
47-56Views:84Dignity is considered the basis of human existence, and legislation seeks to ensure this for all people. This principle of equality requires that neither the state, nor society should discriminate between fellow human beings.
The prohibition of discrimination therefore reassures the principle of equality legal equality and lists disability
among the characteristics to be protected. Consequently, special attention must be paid to the protection of
the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities in all areas of life.
Following the promulgation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the related Optional Protocol, the harmonization of Hungarian regulations began based on the new definition of disability.
The new definition includes persons living with mental impairment. We will discuss the purpose and effect of
the legal instruments created and still being developed as a result of the Convention, as well as the additional
necessary measures to create equal opportunities for persons with mental disabilities within health care, focusing especially on psychiatric care. -
A A new element of palliative and hospice care in Hungary, the Hospice-Palliative Therapy Unit in Debrecen
48-57Views:226The hospice-palliative care developing as a bottom-up initiative in Hungary, has gradually integrated into the Hungarian healthcare system, continuously evolving to meet the demographic trends and public health challenges. Ensuring the dignity of patients while providing end-of-life care has become a universally accepted horizontal principle of healthcare. This trend has brought to life the establishment of dedicated palliative-hospice departments throughout the country: overall 96 hospice healthcare providers are operational, utilizing funds from the National Health Insurance Fund, foundations and other sources. The Hospice-Palliative Therapy Unit was opened in 2017 in Debrecen, with 20 chronic beds and 120 hour/day/month ambulatory home-care capacity. Currently the Unit is hosted in the University of Debrecen. The operation of the Hospice-Palliative Therapy Unit is supported by the Debrecen Hospice House Foundation ever since its establishment in 2015. The Fields of Dignity is an initiative widely open for the public that must be highlighted. This initiative brought substantial social innovation with its innovative program elements leading to the understanding and acceptance of hospice-palliative care.
In summary it must be articulated that albeit the focus of hospice care is the provision of end-of-life care, it fills a void by raising awareness of the value of life, honesty, mutual respect and caring. Hence the sustainable and continued operation of the hospice-palliative care the regional and national capacity and infrastructure is mandatory alongside the establishment of financing home-based care in agreement with the recommendations of the National Palliative Strategy.
