The Faculty was established to help to tackle the task of economic renewal and reorganization of public health and social politics in the eastern region of Hungary to reduce the problems of expert provision, to give opportunity for graduate students for further education and to contribute to the reduction of employment by undertaking the trainings of experts needed in this region.

Besides the training of district nurses, the Faculty made a pledge to run a branch for the training of social workers from the very first moment of its functioning and to make the arrangements for the health information management branch. Besides the organization of two branches, that had no previous traditions in Hungary, in the fourth year, the Faculty began the training of qualified nurses.
