Hungary tries to cope with health issues caused by mass migration but the lack of migrants' cooperation might cause problems.
The Hungarian healthcare system can cope with the burdens posed by migration, but the lack of cooperation from migrants and the fact that they do not wait for the results of their screenings is a risk, Minister of State for Healthcare Zoltan Onodi-Szucs said at a press conference held at the transit zone in Roszke, Hungary.
Mr. Onodi-Szucs pointed out that that Hungary is often being accused of not lending sufficient assistance to migrants, however, healthcare authorities went “as far as they could” based on the current regulations.
Basic healthcare facilities are available at the transit zones. “When needed, paediatricians even cross into Serbia or go deeper into Hungary to provide assistance”, he said. Problems occur when migrants refuse to cooperate.
