The Government has put the country's health-care system on a sure footing and hospital debt has been cut by a quarter, while a 300 billion forint (EUR 968.7m) development programme is under way, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Monday.
Speaking at a hospital in Nagykanizsa, in south-west Hungary, he stated that compared to 2010, "Hungary has exceeded itself using its own strength".
"We have put the Hungarian health-care system on secure foundations," Prime Minister Orbán emphasised, adding that hospital debt of 120 billion forints had been cut by a quarter, and 400 development projects were under way in the sector totalling 300 billion forints. At the same time, the trend of health-care workers leaving the country to work abroad has been pushed back to below the rate it was in 2009, the he added.
