Hungarian ONCA Working Group Press Release on November 8th

We’re excited to announce that during Malnutrition Awareness Week 2024, the Hungarian ONCA (Optimal Nutritional Care for All) working group will hold a highly anticipated press release on November 8th, spotlighting malnutrition as a public health priority in Hungary. This event aims to raise awareness and drive action on one of the most critical health challenges facing our nation today.

Malnutrition affects people of all ages and walks of life, yet it often remains an invisible crisis. The ONCA working group, part of a pan-European initiative, is leading the charge to ensure that nutritional care becomes a national priority—and this year’s Malnutrition Awareness Week will amplify that message like never before.

What to Expect from the Press Release

On November 8th, the Hungarian ONCA team will:

• Highlight the Public Health Crisis: Malnutrition is linked to increased hospitalizations, slower recovery times, and long-term health complications. The press release will emphasize why Hungary must act now to protect its most vulnerable populations.
• Call for Systemic Change: The ONCA working group will push for improved nutritional care systems in both healthcare settings and the broader community, ensuring that nutritional screening and intervention become standard practice across the country.
• Potential Government Endorsement: While still under discussion, official endorsement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs could be a game-changer. Government backing would amplify the initiative, providing crucial support for integrating nutritional care into Hungary’s healthcare strategy.

Why It Matters

Malnutrition isn’t just about food insecurity—it’s about the right nutrition at the right time. Whether it’s for children, the elderly, or those battling chronic illnesses, poor nutrition impacts health outcomes and places a heavy burden on Hungary’s healthcare system. The ONCA working group is driving change to ensure that malnutrition receives the attention it deserves, both from the healthcare community and from national policymakers.

If the Ministry of Internal Affairs endorses the press release, it would signify a strong commitment to tackling malnutrition at a national level, setting the stage for comprehensive reforms that could improve the lives of thousands across the country.

Stay Tuned!

The November 8th event is a key moment in the fight against malnutrition in Hungary. We encourage healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public to stay informed and join the conversation as we work together to improve nutritional care for all.
