health

K&H Group pays special attention to sports as part of its corporate social responsibility and specifically its community engagement efforts. Since commitment, determination and excellence are key priorities for K&H, it was a natural choice for us to become a long-term and large-scale sponsor of sports.

Financial Institution of the Hungarian Paralympic Team

K&H is committed to sponsoring the sports life of Hungary, in which Paralympians are prominent members, yet receive less attention and support than their healthy peers, in spite of their equivalent or even superior performance and results. K&H Group has been a sponsor of the Hungarian Paralympic Team since July 2006, providing it with financial services and supporting Paralympians in their training and preparations.

Our cooperation agreement, extended in 2021, states that K&H continues to serve as sponsor of the Hungarian Paralympic Committee and ‘Financial Institution of the Hungarian Paralympic Team’. We provide financial services to the organisation and the Paralympians, helping them prepare for international competitions with a secure background and without any disruptions.

With its high-quality services and commitment to Hungarian sports, K&H Group is a reliable partner for Hungarian Paralympians.

K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme

In addition to sponsoring the Hungarian Paralympic Committee, K&H has been providing individual support to Paralympians with extraordinary talent since 2007, and also recognised the work of their helpers since 2015 through the K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme. Athletes need to work hard to prepare for competitions, which is impossible without a stable mental and financial background. Under our grant programme, every year three outstanding athletes are awarded gross HUF 1 million each. Grant winners in three categories – adult, promising and helper – are selected by a professional jury. Since the launch of the programme, 31 athletes including 25 para-athletes and 6 helpers received a total of HUF 26 million.

Winners of the K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme in 2022:

adult category: dr. Boglárka Mező Madarász, wheelchair fencer

promising category: Csaba Rescsik, sport shooter

helper category: Gergely Nagy, guide of cyclist Róbert Ocelka

K&H Go! running nights & running days

In addition to sponsoring high-performance sport, K&H pays particular attention to promoting mass sport and has been organizing the K&H Go! running events since 2003.

In 2022, new distances were offered to enthusiastic runners. The 10-kilometre race was open not only to individuals but also to relay teams of 2 or 3 persons. Similarly, the half-marathon race too, could be completed in duos and trios (in the latter case there were 3 identical legs of 7 km in length). 3,220 runners attended the 28th K&H Go! running night.

The K&H Go! running day races are regularly entered by some of Hungary’s most outstanding athletes.

K&H Go! running night warm-up plogging

In addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle and physical activity, K&H also focuses on environmental protection and sustainability. That is why we organized a community litter pick on the Pest side of the Danube bank for the second time in September 2023. At the K&H Go! plogging event, enthusiastic participants collected more than 100 bags of litter, which, through squats, bends and stretches, was equivalent to a serious interval workout.

support for K&H eSports

We regard eSports as the sport of the future. Indeed, the world of eSports is in many ways similar to that of traditional sports; while improving the intellect, it also requires physical stamina. That is the reason why we want to set an example in this line of sport, too, by supporting dedication, determination and excellence and by encouraging the development of domestic talent eager to impress from the very start!

K&H MediMagic medical equipment purchase application scheme

Launched back in 2004, the K&H MediMagic equipment purchase scheme supports Hungarian pediatric health care with innovative medical devices. Our important objective in creating such a scheme was to provide access to new instruments for as many institutions as possible, helping doctors and nurses rely on accurate diagnostic tools in making their smart decisions. This is how K&H would like to contribute to the full life of the present and future generations. Under the auspices of our MediMagic scheme, hospitals, specialist clinics, ambulance stations, pediatric GPs’ practices, district nurses’ services and various foundations promoting the treatment and recovery of sick children have so far received new equipment worth more than a total of HUF 875 million, on altogether 551 occasions.

Applications for the 2024 K&H MediMagic equipment purchase scheme may be submitted between 19 March and 15 April. For the full documentation of the scheme and for additional information about applications, please visit www.khgyogyvarazs.hu.

1% tax donation

Thanks to everyone who donated 1% of their personal income tax to the K&H MediMagic scheme in 2023, the Ambulance Station of Dunaföldvár has received innovative equipment that will greatly assist paramedics in securing children’s pelvises, resuscitation and respiratory distress.

Our colleagues and partners regularly join us in supporting the children’s health institutions applying for the scheme, and therefore we have also been able to help with additional donations:

Donation of 1% of the personal income tax

Thanks to everyone who donated 1% of their personal income tax to the K&H MediMagic programme in 2022, the Pécs Ambulance Station received blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeter sensors for children.

Christmas donation

Thanks to a Christmas donation by K&H employees, the paediatric emergency department of the Vaszary Kolos Hospital in Esztergom received HUF 2.3 million worth of equipment to support the medical care of children.

K&H ‘Healers of the Future’ award

To mark the 20th anniversary of the K&H MediMagic program, we have created our K&H ‘Healers of the Future’ award to recognize young medics who put their heart and soul into healing children, using innovative methods in their care.

The award was open to applications by pediatric general practitioners and specialists – fully qualified and practicing physicians, as well as residents studying towards their specialist qualifications – below 40 years of age, while nominations were also invited from the general public.

The young medical professionals could apply in three categories:

• pediatric residents and specialist candidates,
• pediatric general practitioners, and
• pediatric specialists working at healthcare institutions.

A total of 81 physicians applied for the award.

The judges, the media sponsors and the general public selected from among these applicants the 8 pediatricians who received the K&H ‘Healers of the Future’ award. The winners received HUF 1.3 million each, of which HUF 300,000 may be spent specifically on their further training so that they can treat their young patients even more effectively, using even more innovative technologies.
