"They left us in the lurch" – in the wake of a father's hospital death

In April 2025, Judit's father, János, was hospitalized after a fall and later developed a urinary tract infection leading to sepsis. Despite showing symptoms, he did not receive timely treatment, resulting in his death. Judit is seeking accountability from the hospital, believing that negligence contributed to her father's passing. The hospital has not provided specific answers regarding his care, citing privacy concerns. Judit filed a complaint with the National Public Health and Medical Officer Service, but the investigation has been prolonged without resolution. Similar cases have raised concerns about hospital infections and patient care standards in Hungary.
