In the 1950s the most important epidemiological problem was the threat that contagious diseases represented for the population therefore the aim of healthcare professionals was to significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rates resulting from these diseases. With the introduction of vaccinations, these previously lethal diseases ceased to represent any serious public health issue for the majority of Hungarians and this was visible in the statistical data. As the genetic turn reached Hungary in the 1960s clinicians recognized that new methods of genetics can be used to understand the causes of mortality and morbidity rates resulting from reproduction. Because accompanying the success of curbing contagious diseases health statistics have shown an increase in congenital disorders and thus the focus shifted towards finding ways to develop these healthcare results. Thus, reproduction became a central concern in the 1960s and 1970s for clinicians. This paper will map out the shift that took place during this period to show that eugenic thinking was present in these public health discussions, and were -to some extent -uncritically integrated into the medical genetic discussions regarding reproduction 1 .
This paper briefly summarizes the characteristics of the three main strands in quality philosophy (Japan and South East Asia, USA and North America, Western Europe). The qualities of some of the philosophical schools differ in how effectively they manage to build in the so-called "soft" components that is, the components of the human factor into their quality control processes. In fact, the products and production processes, and quality control of the services in respect of each quality culture differ in relation to diverse human characteristics, cultural backgrounds, and the workforce's willingness to cooperate in practice. It can be concluded that the way these elements effect quality are increasingly important success factors. In the Hungarian practice, this has not been sufficiently exploited. Here I will discuss the "soft" elements of success and I will reflect on the present situation in Hungary.
