Bókay Alapítvány

The Bókay János Children’s Foundation is a Hungarian foundation dedicated to advancing pediatric care, with a particular focus on supporting Semmelweis University’s Bókay Children’s Clinic in Budapest. Guided by the motto “Children are the light of our eyes,” the foundation works to improve healthcare for children and assist young patients and their families during treatment and recovery.

The foundation uses donations, including Hungary’s personal income tax 1% designation, to purchase medical equipment, develop the clinic’s infrastructure, fund research programs, and support healing initiatives. These efforts aim to help children receive more effective, up-to-date care and contribute to better recovery. Its priorities also include broader development of pediatric medicine and practical support for sick children.

The foundation’s website provides information about its mission, the use of donations, its history and namesake, professors, downloadable documents and reports, and a photo gallery. It also lists programs such as open days and events, with further information on some activities to be announced.
