Abstract:
The mortality of stroke in Hungary is 208 out of 100,000 inhabitants, which is very high in an international comparison. The age-group most in danger is between 35 and 50. There are 40-50 thousand hospital admissions each year because of stroke, the majority of them are unexpected crisis cases. In 1992, the government announced the National Stroke Program, which includes prevention, emergency, acute treatment and rehabilitation. Simultaneously with the medical-professional program, the National Stroke Program Information System (NSPI) has also been launched. Its aim is the direct backing up of the medical activity, the aiding of epidemiological tasks and preventive follow-up of patients. The system consists of an interactive database network in that it can guarantee accessibility, thus making every endeavour to assist in solving medical-professional problems with the help of modern information technology (smart care, telecommunication-device, etc.).
