The president of the Hungarian Medical Chamber gave an interview to MedicalOnline, in which he spoke about the fact that ordering may not be to the liking of doctors.

According to the president of the Hungarian Medical Chamber (MOK), they also maneuvered well in 2020 on the difficult path with the coronavirus epidemic and accelerated reform of the sector. In an interview with MedicalOnline, Gyula Kincses said that he had succeeded in elevating the camera into the mainstream of professional politics, “and this means not only an active and sometimes effective dialogue with decision-makers, but also an increase in the prestige of MOK ”.

According to him, the fact that the viral situation has put healthcare at the center of attention has also contributed to the results and changes in the sector.

As a result, the government has recognized that the reforms cannot be postponed and should seek a professional association with the body representing the medical community.

In the interview, it was mentioned that, with a bit of hype, they had enshrined the MOK pay scale in law without negotiating, and also supported them in their efforts to withdraw the gratitude money. “Our two key preconditions for healthcare transformation have been met, so we cannot feel that our public body has been used merely as a bio-assembly to achieve political goals,” the president said.

To the question that they were still very surprised when they received the draft law on the legal status of the health service and were only given four hours to review the work material, Gyula Kincses replied,

we cut the packaging and the fact that the law was written without consultation, with harsh exceptions to the detriment of medical interests. This caused widespread outrage, but in hindsight, we managed to save some important things around the corner.

As for the fact that he will have to have a license if a healthcare worker wants to take a second job, the president hopes that most permits will be issued automatically.

He also spoke of not having to return to the same structure and order of medical care after the epidemic as before. He added that the coronavirus epidemic causes incredible suffering, tension, damage, but it also has benefits. “For example, in telemedicine, telemedicine, there have been developments in recent months like never before,” he said, adding that the pandemic highlighted structural flaws in the care system, untapped capabilities and, most importantly, the need to increase the adaptability of the system.
