Furthermore, the objectives of this new agreement are to further develop industrial, healthcare and innovation partnerships, as well as to support the health preservation and well-being of employees working in Debrecen.
- The most decisive collaboration in the modern history of the University of Debrecen to date is its alliance with BMW. However, it has also become clear over the years that this is not merely a relationship that exists between two institutions, but also an extremely close-knit partnership. This factor continues to significantly contribute to the fact that the results of our strategic cooperation are now clearly visible- said Rector Zoltán Szilvássy at the signing of the agreement document.
In the framework of the cooperation, BMW Group Debrecen Plant and the Clinical Center of the University of Debrecen have entered into an agreement according to which the Clinical Center will provide primary care GP services to employees of the BMW plant in Debrecen who are eligible to receive social security benefits. The care is to be provided by the General Practitioner Service of the Debrecen Institute of Primary Care and Health Promotion at the clinic, which is located on the Nagyerdei Campus of the University of Debrecen, within the Clinical Center.
- This new instance of collaboration with the University of Debrecen will additionally facilitate and strengthen our long-term relationship, while it also reflects our commitment to the welfare of our employees. By providing access to the Clinical Center’s primary care services for our employees, we have taken another important step towards preserving their health-said Hans-Peter Kemser, President and CEO of BMW Group Plant Debrecen.
