In her opening remarks, Ambassador Maria Elena Algabre reaffirmed the Embassy’s commitment to the welfare of Filipinos in Hungary, particularly through initiatives that strengthen health literacy, support community development, and advance gender empowerment.

The seminar featured a series of presentations addressing key health issues relevant to the Filipino community in Hungary, comprising permanent residents, professionals, guest workers, and students.

Mr. Miguel Angelo Victor Ontog, a Filipino nurse in Hungary currently pursuing his Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Advanced Practice and Community Health at Semmelweis University, gave an overview of the Hungarian healthcare system and highlighted common health concerns affecting Filipinos.

Dr. Botond Lakatos, a medical doctor and professor at Semmelweis University, presented on “Lifestyle & Prevention: Global Health and Local Practices in Europe,” emphasizing the importance of preventive healthcare and the role of lifestyle factors in reducing the risk of disease and other health conditions.

Ms. Alexandra Takács, Senior Project Associate for Protection at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), delivered a presentation on migration health, women’s well-being, and workplace safety in the context of migration, highlighting the increased vulnerability of women to health risks, the importance of mental health and psychosocial support, and available support mechanisms.

The final presentation was given by Ms. Anikó Woods, Strategic Marketing Advisor at FirstMed and author of the guidebook How to Hungary. She provided practical guidance on navigating Hungary’s healthcare system for both TAJ (Társadalombiztosítási Azonosító Jel / Social Security Identification) and non-TAJ cardholders, offering tools to improve access to medical services.

An open forum and panel discussion followed, allowing participants to engage directly with the speakers and raise questions on health and well-being concerns.

In his closing remarks, Minister and Consul General Mr. Jeffrey P. Salik expressed appreciation to the speakers and participants for their active engagement and reiterated the Embassy’s continued commitment to supporting the welfare of the Filipino community in Hungary.

A free basic health screening was also conducted on-site at the Embassy before and after the seminar by Mr. Miguel Angelo Victor Ontog, with the assistance of Ms. Andrea Bergula Saises, a BSc Nursing and Patient Care student at Semmelweis University. The initiative was well received by participants, as it provided them with an opportunity to undergo basic health checks and receive preliminary health information.

Guests were also served hearty Filipino refreshments, including the traditional purple-colored delicacy Ube bilo-bilo, in celebration of “Purple Wednesdays” observed during Women’s Month.
