He added that the reform plan would boost Hungary’s competitiveness and narrow the budget deficit. About 5.9% of Hungary’s GDP — including Ft 100 billion for gratuities to doctors and hospital staff — goes toward healthcare, a much higher rate than in the EU and OECD countries, according to a study by market research company Kopint Datorg and drugmaker Novartis, still, the quality of health care in Hungary is lower than that in more developed countries.
