The Health System in Transition (HiT) profile on Hungary was co produced
by the European Observatory on health Systems and Policies and
Semmelweis University, which is a member of the network of National
Lead Institutions that work with the Observatory on country monitoring.
The NLI network is made up of national counterparts who are highly
regarded at national and international level and have particular strengths in the
area of health systems, health services, public health and health management
research. They draw on their own extensive networks in the health field and
their track record of successful collaboration with the Observatory to develop
and update the HiT.
Semmelweis University is one of the oldest Universities in Hungary and
is internationally recognized as a leading institution in Europe in the area
of Medicine and Health Sciences. Its Health Services Management Training
Centre (HSMTC) was officially founded in April 1995 and aims at enhancing
health services management both in Hungary, in the region and on the
international level. Its activities span education, consultancy and research as
well as participation in many international programmes and networks.
