[Dear Editorial Team!]

GYENES Géza

[We respectfully send you the position paper of the FAKOOSZ on the "Action Programme", which we have prepared at the request of Dr. István Mikola, State Secretary. We would ask you, if possible, to publish an extract of this document in your newspaper. Our association aims to formulate, coordinate, defend, represent and constantly assert the interests of district doctors working in villages in accordance with their specific living and working conditions. It operates independently of political parties, denominations, the medical trade union and the MOK. In addition to advocacy, we also provide charitable and economic services to our members, the profits from which are donated to the FAKOOSZ Foundation. Our membership is open to all doctors of Hungarian nationality working in the rural districts and municipalities attached to the town, as well as to doctors of non-Hungarian nationality who are resident in Hungary or have a residence permit. ]

[Summary of comments]

[The Ministry of Public Welfare has published a working paper entitled Action Programme for the Renewal of our Health System for discussion in the Medical Weekly and in the pages of Lege Artis Medicinae. The programme has received many comments, opinions and suggestions. In addition to our medical colleagues, economists, sociologists, churchmen, lawyers, entrepreneurs, health professionals, politicians and parliamentarians have also contributed. The majority of the 269 analytical reflections - just over 5,000 pages - were written by institutions, university clinics, hospital doctors' groups, district medical associations, scientific associations, bodies of interest representation bodies (Hungarian Medical Chamber, EDDSZ), the Health Science Council, health and social committees of local authorities, regional and expert working groups of social security institutions and many others. The reflections have been examined in detail by experts from the Ministry and members of the working committee that drew up the programme. They provided many good ideas and useful suggestions for the final version of the programme. We thank all those who took the trouble to contribute with constructive comments and good intentions to the design of the new health care system and the new way of working. The most representative comments are published as promised and a summary of the lessons learnt from the processing of the material is presented in a bundle.]

[The following is an extract from a forthcoming book, the manuscript of which closed at the beginning of September, so it does not respond to the Ministry of Public Welfare programme that has been published since then - although it is still relevant. ]
