Description
Launched by Hungary"s Ministry of Human Capacities, this nationwide initiative aimed to improve public health and prevent chronic diseases---particularly cardiovascular conditions---by integrating preventive services into primary care. Over 800 general practices organized into 143 practice communities participated, reaching nearly 1 million people. Key components included cardiovascular risk screening for adults aged 40--65, lifestyle counselling, and targeted health promotion for children and the elderly. The program strengthened interdisciplinary collaboration and contributed to the development of national prevention strategies through data collection and scientific publications.Program launch date
