Hungary invests in healthcare

In recent years we have seen a continuous increase in public expenditure for healthcare in Hungary. Since 2009 more than €2 billion has been channelled into the sector, predominantly to improve healthcare institutions in rural areas and medical technology. In 2017 this meant

excess funds of nearly €622 million for the sector. Within the Heath Insurance Fund for contribution-in-kind, i.e. for direct patient care, more than €5 billion will be allocated in 2018.

This will be followed by hundreds of millions of euros in development funds in the coming years, which will also enable the renewal of the supplier system in Budapest. And when such large investments are being made, it is advisable to review the progress of technology and examine new prospects for patients and healthcare professionals who are constantly looking for new opportunities, how they can provide a better service to their patients and how they can revolutionise their work.

The perfect forum

The HUNGAROMEDICA Health and Medical Technology Exhibition and its related professional seminars offer a platform to present the results of new medical technologies, to review the latest analyses and to discuss current legislation. This will help to redefine the future role of hospitals, clinics and pharmacies while enabling participants to reinterpret the doctor-patient relationship models in the face of ever-increasing digitalisation.

At the same time, the HUNGAROMEDICA Exhibition is a powerful tool to reach a wide range of corporate goals, whether this is professional networking, reaching new customers, image building, new product launches, mapping competitors, increasing growth or sales. At this event participants are able to examine the current trends and study the biggest market players; on the other hand a number of potential clients will also be present so attendees are not only able to strengthen relationships with their current institutions but are also able to acquire new medical partners. The exhibition will be hosting about 10,000 professionals, service providers, representatives of policy and sector management, students studying in higher education and others who are interested in the healthcare industry.
