New on-call system in Budapest soon

The new on-call system will be launched in Budapest in October, Péter Takács said at a conference organised by the GPs Online Organisation on Friday, Economx reports.

Attila Keczéry, a GP from Zugló, who was present at the conference, confirmed the information of Takács to 24.hu. Keczéry added that the Minister of State did not give any details other than the date of introduction, only that the decree will be published in the Hungarian Gazette on the day after the election, i.e. on Monday.

The new on-call system was launched in Hajdú-Bihar County on 1 February last year, after a one-and-a-half-year trial period. Due to its complexity, the capital is the last place where the on-call service is being restructured.
