    And what else is important
    • On his initiative in 1990, the UVIC (University of Victory, Canada) Faculty of Health Information would have established a branch within the framework of the Medical Officer of Health Service to provide basic education in health-medical informatics and to launch a master's course - with a joint teaching faculty. This would have been the first internationally accredited educational institute in the field in our country. However, the Hungarian side did not approve this at the time.
