Where is it?

Central on-call Hospital District seats

Békés county, Békési district (highlighted). Thin lines are district (járás) borders, small dots district seats. A dashed line is not a route but a connection: its label gives the driving time by road. Here in the settlement: GP, Dentist, Pharmacy.

How do people live here?

Income, work, births and deaths, moving away — the settlement beside its járás, its county and the median Hungarian settlement. These are the reasons a district is hard to fill, and the reasons people here die sooner.

What to expect here in a year?

25%

GP care

25% chance that in 12 months at least one of the 12 districts serving this settlement is vacant.

16%

Dental care

16% chance that in 12 months at least one of the 7 districts serving this settlement is vacant.

1 of the serving districts are in the country's riskiest tenth.

A forecast, not a prophecy: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones. It is about the settlement, never about a particular doctor.

Békési járás a year from now

6.3GP districts expected vacant in 12 months; 6 of 25 today

now6

in 12 months 6.3

Expected: 0.5 districts falling vacant and 0.2 filled; the 90% band is 4.9–7.7. A forecast, not a promise: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones.

Avoidable mortality in Békési járás: 493 per 100,000 (2024); the rural median is 450.

This is a járás figure: NNGYK publishes no settlement-level avoidable mortality, because so few deaths cannot give a reliable rate. The járás's health data →

In a small settlement a few births or moves shift the rate a lot, so the vital statistics are four-year averages; for the smallest villages they still need reading with care.

Sources: KSH TIMEA (income from NAV data), KSH 2022 census, NFSZ settlement data, NNGYK mortality database, NEAK grant winners and monthly data; the forecast is our own calculation.

The doctor's name comes from NEAK's register of contracted providers and is shown only for staffed districts. “Since” comes from our own archive (monthly NEAK snapshots kept since 2017-10), not from a start date NEAK publishes; no public source gives surgery hours.

What is vacant

Vacant is not the same as unserved: substitution does not show in public data.

Health visitors

Composite care-risk index ?A weighted mean of eight public measures, each turned into a national percentile: vacancy, driving time to the GP, the dentist, the on-call service, outpatient and inpatient care, bus access, age structure, the risk forecast and the beneficiary-settlement status. 100 is the worst-placed settlement, not one without care.

25.6

0 — the best-placed settlement100 — the worst

Békés ranks 3,031 of 3,177 settlements — better placed than 4.6% of the country.

25.6

low risk

Ranked 3,031 highest of the country's 3,177 settlements on the composite care-risk index.

Drive to the GP 0 min

the district median: 6.3 min
Composite risk index 25.6

The index is a weighted mean of eight public measures, from national percentiles. A comparison, not a verdict: a high value means several measures point the same way — not that there is no care. The method in detail.

What changed in a year?

Compared with the 2025-12 snapshot from our own archive.

▼ In GP care, 0 vacant or dissolved districts serve this settlement, against 1 a year ago.
▲ A new doctor started in 3 districts over the past year.

What happened to which district 3

NEAK code	Branch	District	What happened	Who / where	From
040090011	GP	adult district	was filled	Dr. Veres Eszter Ildikó	August 2026 (< 1 year)

Only changes today's snapshot confirms are listed: a district “fell vacant” if its vacancy began within the year, and “was filled” if a doctor works in it today. The archive's gaps do not show up as changes.

We compare only what every month has data for: vacant and dissolved districts and changes of doctor. Driving times, bus access and the pharmacy network are not available back in time, so no change is claimed for them. At county level, turnover shows how often doctors change.
