Road traffic accidents involving personal injury, 2nd quarter 2021
In the 2nd quarter of 2021, as a result of the gradual easing of the epidemiological confinement measures and the continuously increasing vehicle traffic compared to a year earlier, nearly one-fifth more accidents took place than in the same period of 2020. Compared to the corresponding period of 2019, there were 14% fewer accidents. The number of deaths rose drastically (by 40%), that of minor and serious injuries considerably, while the number of drunk-driving accidents fell.
Further data, referring to 2020, are available broken down by settlements and districts
The dissemination database’s data groups for settlements and for Budapest districts were updated with further data, referring to 2020, so settlement- and district-level 2020 data on mother and child health nurses, specialist consultations, hospitals and pharmacies among others are available from 7 September.
Significant decrease in health visitor visits to expectant mothers
The number of expectant mothers registered at the health visitor services increased by 2.2% in 2019 and 2.7% in 2020. At the same time, the number of visits by health visitors to mothers decreased slightly in 2019, but by 40% in 2020, mainly due to the Covid19 epidemic. In view of the exceptional situation, some of the communication between health visitors and mothers was carried out through teleconsultation, without face-to-face meetings, replacing family visits and/or counselling.
