Miklós Kásler, Minister of Human Resources, appointed hospital directors on Friday. The terms of office of the heads of clinical centers, central hospitals in Budapest and county hospitals will take effect from 1st January 2021.
In his speech before appointing the new hospital directors, Kásler emphasized that Hungarian healthcare is being reorganized in every detail, which also affects Emmi (Ministry of Human Resources).
A new National Hospital Directorate will be established to help and keep county hospitals together and to implement professional policy decisions, economic and financial issues, he added.
