Description

The goal of the ‘Johan Béla’ National Programme for the Decade of Health is to give all Hungarian citizens the opportunity to live as healthily as possible. As a result, life expectancy at birth should increase by three years for both genders in a perspective of ten years.
There are two fundamental courses to attain this:
• protecting and improving the health of individual citizens throughout their entire lives;
• reducing the prevalence of major illnesses, injuries, and causes of death, and cutting down related suffering.
There are three fundamental values guiding us in designing the National Programme:
• the fundamental human right to health
• the reduction of inequality and solidarity and
• the participation of individuals, groups, institutions and communities, and the responsibility of all of them for improving health
