The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition (OGYÉI) was the public authority responsible for supervising and assessing medical and medicinal products, the pharmaceutical market and the operation of pharmacies and genetic engineering in health. Its areas of competence also included regulatory tasks, scientific research and surveillance in the fields of food and nutrition, health and cosmetics.
Effective 1 August 2023, the institute no longer exists as a separate entity. Under government decree 333/2023, a new organisation, the National Centre for Public Health and Pharmacy, was created. In this new setup, the OGYÉI is merged with the National Public Health Centre (NNK), responsible for coordinating all public health-related tasks in the country. The chief medical officer of Hungary – the head of the NNK – heads the newly established body.
