From Healthcare Centre to Outpatient Clinic 9 February 2010
5 new micro-regional outpatient clinics will be set up in the Central Hungary region thanks to funding amounting to 4 billion HUF made available within the framework of the New Hungary Development Plan. One of these is the clinic in Szigetszentmiklós, which is to be developed with the help of EU funding amounting to nearly 800 million HUF. The foundation stone of the new clinic has just been laid.
104,000 residents living in the Ráckeve micro-region will have access to a wider range of higher standard healthcare services by converting the healthcare centre in Szigetszentmiklós into an outpatient centre. A one-day surgery unit specialising in traumatology, orthopaedics, gynaecology and otolaryngology and a day-care unit specialising in locomotor rehabilitation will be set up in this new outpatient centre. This new one-day surgery unit will make it possible to perform one-day 6-hour-long surgical interventions. It will be possible to monitor patients that underwent surgery in two 3-bed post-surgery wards.
The locomotor rehabilitation day-care unit will provide a variety of services ranging from remedial gymnastics and remedial massage through to physiotherapy, among others, to rehabilitate patients undergoing trauma and orthopaedic surgery, rheumatology patients, as well as patients suffering from nerve disorders.
The entire infrastructure of the laboratory, as well as the cardiac and radiology unit will be renewed within the framework of this development. A modern pulmonary unit will be set up concurrently to upgrading the radiology unit by re-locating the outdated pulmonary centre located a fair distance away in Ráckeve.
