Ministry of Health: The Orbán government ordered studies from BCG for over 350 million forints on the transformation of healthcare

The Hungarian Ministry of Health released studies commissioned by the Orbán government from the Boston Consulting Group, totaling over 350 million HUF. These six studies, conducted between 2020 and 2024, reveal serious issues in the healthcare system, yet the government has not provided a coherent response. The first study, Project Hippocrates, suggested significant hospital closures and reforms to strengthen primary care. Subsequent studies addressed private healthcare strategies and proposed changes to the healthcare management system. The Ministry criticized the government's failure to implement comprehensive reforms and emphasized the need for transparency regarding public funds used for these studies.
