On the occasion of the university\u2019s birthday, all Semmelweis Citizens, including <\/b><\/span>all <\/b><\/span>students, faculty and staff, will receive a Semmelweis Card, which can be used to access various discounts and services. \u201cSemmelweis University\u2019s strength lies in its human resources; the people who work here create value, therefore the university\u2019s leadership must above all take care of their health and provide them with recreational opportunities,\u201d said rector Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely about the program. <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

November 7 is the official birthday of Semmelweis University \u2013 on this day 251 years ago, in 1769, Empress Maria Theresa added a medical faculty to the University of Nagyszombat (today Trnava, Slovakia), thus creating the legal predecessor of today\u2019s Semmelweis University and launching medical training in Hungary. On the occasion of this anniversary and as part of its Family-Friendly University Program, the university is launching its Semmelweis Card Program, with every university citizen to receive their personal cards in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Semmelweis Card Program grants a broad range of discounts and extra services to the institution\u2019s employees and students: these include a discount at university pharmacies, health care and health prevention services, programs supporting mental health, legal aid services and other areas, such as taking part in community physical activities organized by the university. With the card \u2013 taking into account epidemiological rules \u2013, the range of sports, culture and other available discounts will <\/span>also <\/span>be expanded.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cOur goal with the Family-Friendly program is to make our university a place where in addition to professional development and recognition, our co-workers can also receive support to lead fuller personal lives,\u201d said Dr. B<\/span>\u00e9la Merkely. Semmelweis is a place where bringing up children is a value, and must become a place where the universit<\/span>y as employer acts consciously to help its employees achieve a healthy work-life balance. \u201cTo this end, we plan in the future to implement various family support measures, flexible employment opportunities, as well as several medium-term development ideas,\u201d the rector added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kata Adonicsn\u00e9 P\u00fcski, deputy director of the rector\u2019s cabinet, emphasized that in addition to supporting their professional recognition and careers, it is crucial to provide employees with working conditions that promote a flexible harmony between work and raising a family. Beyond its economic benefits, this strengthens the university\u2019s ability to retain staff as well as its situation on the job market.<\/span><\/p>\n
