Excerpt
A main social target of governments, international organizations and the whole world community in the coming decades should be the attainment by all peoples of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life1. It should include educating communities on prevalent health problems, and on methods of prevention . and control. Recently congenital anomalies have become a decisive part of child health care and the right to be healthy2 is an important criterion for better ways of growing up. With this in mind, an effort has been made in Hungary to integrate the so-called Optimal Family Planning Programme into primary health care as the primary prevention of congenital anomalies. Furthermore, the Hungarian Centre for Congenital Anomaly Control carries out several public health activities, such as surveillance and monitoring, diagnostic, preventive and rehabilitative activities, and acts as a health centre for congenital anomaly control including the tertiary prevention.
