Abstract

Strengthening and renewing public health in Hungary is a priority task for policy from time to time. Its topicality today is partly due to the difficulties of containing the Covid-19 epidemic and partly due to the ongoing reorganization of the health system, involving hospital care, primary care, and health promotion offices.
