Child Psychiatrists’ EESZT Documentation Requirement

Like all doctors, child psychiatrists are legally obliged to record documentation about your child in the EESZT, including a diagnosis or at least a provisional diagnosis. This requires your child’s personal data (date of birth, TAJ number). The documentation usually consists of a few summary sentences, a description of the child’s condition from a medical perspective and a diagnosis/provisional diagnosis. If you do not wish this entry to be visible to other doctors and healthcare professionals (under current regulations it is visible only to psychiatrists and child psychiatrists, not to other doctors or schools), the two parents together may make a declaration restricting access at the government office (kormányablak) for their place of residence, bringing the necessary documents (parents’ identity cards and address cards, the child’s birth certificate).
