Doctors standards in Hungary
All doctors have to be registered and receive permission to practise from the government department, the Chamber of Medicine. All clinics and hospitals have to be approved and registered with the government health department and all doctors have to also be registered, declaring their diplomas and qualifications to the same department, before they are allowed to practise at a particular institution.
This also applies if the surgeon works at more than one institution then he/she has to be registered at all places of practice. Surgeons and doctors are known simply as Doctor or Mr and doctors state their speciality. The Professional skills and knowledge of Hungarian physicians are acknowledged worldwide.
Strict regulations govern the oversight of doctors in Hungary, with 50 mandatory hours a year of continuing education for licensed practitioners, higher than many European and American requirements. For example, cosmetic surgeons must complete up to 13 years of study. Following six years of medical school, future cosmetic surgeons must be trained in a clinical setting for three to five years depending on specialization. Then they can apply for accreditation which requires a further one or two years of study. This ensures a high standard and qualifications of the doctor in their specialty.
Private medical facilities have invested heavily in obtaining the latest technology, instruments and resources to upgrade its treatment capabilities and serve international patients with the highest standards.
