for health institutions; a motivated and specialized
health workforce employing up-to-date technol-ogy; educational

of health services, the Ministry of Health took over all public
health facilities on January 19th, 2005, unifying all public hospitals
under a single umbrella. |
| |
| Furthermore, efforts are under way to improve health infor-mation,
to determine the factors affecting health and to take
swift measures against detrimental factors in accord-ance
with the Public Health Action Program, for which a memorandum
of understanding has been signed with the EU. |
