More than 100 physicians[1] in 45 specialties see their private patients in the facility and more than 230 national and multinational companies have contracted with them for their employees’ health care.
The National Center for Spinal Disorders is its affiliate hospital. The hospital also offers publicly financed outpatient care in the areas of musculoskeletal disorders (spine care, orthopedics, traumatology) and anesthesiology as well as inpatient spine care and spine surgery for national and international private patients and patients covered by Hungarian Health Insurance.[2]
In 2006, the Buda Health Center earned 1.7 billion Hungarian Forints mainly from international patients[3] while in 2011, the earnings reached 3 billion.[4] By the middle of 2013, the Buda Health Center had contract agreements with more than 230 national and multinational companies.[5]
History
[edit]The Buda Health Center was established by Peter Paul Varga, MD in a villa in Budapest originally the residence of one of the directors of the Hungarian Optical Works.[citation needed] The building served for a time as a kindergarten. In the 1990s, it was occupied by the health clinic of the Postabank, and then in 2000 by the Buda Health Center. The clinic first opened its doors as a private orthopedic clinic, gradually enlarging its portfolio, adding more and more specialties every year. In 2002, screening examinations and the Occupational Health Program were added.
Psychosocial responsibility
[edit]The Buda Health Center is committed to promoting the importance of a healthy lifestyle by providing incentives through articles appearing in their blogs, in local publications and on their own website. These articles cover diseases and their possible treatments and also emphasize the importance of daily physical education in the prevention of diseases. The Center takes an active part in the District’s health (Egészséges Hegyvidék) program offering free screening examinations and lectures.
