Every year, the highly regarded “21 Women for Health Foundation” of Hungary holds an award ceremony to celebrate new prize-winning trademarks. This year, the event took place on 27 November and the focus was on a healthy environment. It was a wonderful event celebrating dedicated people working in the field of healthcare.
The awarded programmes all seek out the most important problems in society and try to develop solutions. There is clearly a strong need for good programmes to spread health education and health awareness, but often in the noise of big media the truly credible initiatives are not noticed or recognised. The Foundation tries to achieve some balance through its trademarks prize.
The 2019 winners included “Dementia Hours” by the Social Cluster Association, which provides information hours about understanding dementia and how to care properly for people living with dementia. Other winners included The Green Mature Women Community: mothers who have built communities for thousands of people in need; Nutricia Home Care Service - the only initiative in Hungary to provide assistance for tube-feeding care in nursing homes; and a pharmacist who investigates and publishes false promises of medical products.
Anyone can apply for the Trademark Prize, or designate any organisation, programme or association that provides professionally credible solutions to meet the needs of society. It can be a small community, a professional programme, a dedicated professional initiative working anywhere in the country or even across the border. It is important to know about these programmes and share their knowledge to help improve our everyday lives.
