The harmful effects of civilization tend to cause more and more cases of kidney disease in town-dwellers’ bodies bombarded by poisons. At least every other person affected thus in Hungary is treated now by the instruments and according to instructions of the German company named Fresenius specialized in equipment for nephritic patients. Having outgrown its building for a long time now, the Hospital in Péterfy Sándor Street has a new one for its overcrowded dialysis centre and thus Hungarian medicine has been also enriched with a complex medical centre. It was opened at the beginning of 2010 but its reconstruction has not yet been finished. Miklós Marosi chief architect adjusted to the ever changing conditions with rarely seen flexibility and openness whilst also sticking to a condition of his own: the interior design must not influence the exterior appearance, the interior proportions or the overall spatial impression.
