The National Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OTH) undertakes the implementation of the project as a project owner. The planned implementation period of the project is 52 months. The amount of aid that can be used to achieve the objectives of the project is HUF 6.57 billion. Implementation period: 1 March 2016-30 June 2020 (52 months) The overall objective of the project is: • reduce the risk of death that can be prevented by screening, • increase the effectiveness of public health programmes, • improve public health awareness (including willingness to participate in screening tests), • review and upgrade the screening system. The project aims to implement the following activities along the lines of the objectives: • Develop a regulatory framework for screening tests to design and organise regulatory process structures-competences. • Further development of organised, targeted public health inspections (mammary screening, cervix screening and colorectal screening), redesign and reorganisation of the system, provision of the necessary capacities, procurement, training of further protectors and stakeholders. • National extension of organised residential colon screening in the 50-70 age group. • Efficacy testing, pilot programme and comprehensive health economic studies and proposals to support the preparation of health policy decisions, which are of high priority for public health. The project builds on the experience gained in the project TÁMOP-6.1.3.A-13/1-2013-0001 “Support for the extension of preventive screening programmes (protection of female cervical and colon screening programmes)” in the design and implementation process. As a result of the implementation of the above activities: • a set of criteria based on professional consensus is developed to identify which service is considered as screening, including those proposed to be carried out at population level or among risk groups, as well as those for which public funding is eligible; • professional and communication training is provided to thousands of doctors and healthcare professionals in primary care and specialised care in the field of screening; • an IT system to support public health screenings is being put in place; • the national extension of organised public health colon screening takes place throughout Hungary in the 50-70 age group; the system will be able to continue in the state-funded system from 2019; • a comprehensive system of legal and funding screening will be put in place, based on each other, so that it can be clarified, among other things, by which method, what conditions, who, with what guarantees, by what kind of data collection and service, and by what quality can be used.
