Where is NIP, what is GYEMSZI?

Dear Colleagues,

Experts working in the Hungarian pharmaceutical business had a long dream to collect around NIP (OGYI) all the institutions dealing with the registration at pharmaceutical, veterinary, food additive, blood and plasma preparations and medical devices which would help to use similar standards and criteria in all these fields. The idea is not new; just have a look at FDA.

On 1st May 2011 something very different happened, according to the Government Regulation 59/2011 (IV.22.) GYEMSZI (National Institute for Quality- and Organizational Development in Healthcare and Medicines) was formed as a methodological centre which is dealing among many other things with healthcare strategy, quality improvement, patient route organisation, trainings and supervision.

 The leading unit of the new organisation is EMKI (Institute for Healthcare Quality Improvement and Hospital Engineering) and under its supervision GYEMSZI with the four members with one of them NIP.

Please find enclosed the new organisational chart (1), the circular (2) of the new managing director of EMKI and GYEMSZI, dr. Krisztina Török and the official announcement on the formation of GYEMSZI (3).

We sincerely hope that the reorganisation will not negatively influence the work of NIP but after a short transitory period it will be better than ever.

The new methodological center (National Institute for Quality- and Organizational Development in Healthcare and Medicines - GYEMSZI) was established on May 1st, 2011 based on Government Regulation59/2011. (IV. 22.), by the merger of the National Institute for Strategic Health Research (ESKI), the National Institute of Pharmacy (OGYI), the Institute for Basic and Continuing Education of Health Workers (ETI), and the National Centre for Healthcare Audit and Inspection (OSZMK) into the Institute for Healthcare Quality Improvement and Hospital Engineering (EMKI), thus resulting a change in the latter's name.
