Hospitals are very unhappy that patients are increasingly filming and photographing the staff there.

Patients are increasingly anxious and impatient, often recording their care experiences, according to several hospitals. This trend has intensified since the Ministry of Health promoted transparency after the government change. The National Hospital Directorate warns that recording and sharing these materials may violate the privacy rights of other patients and healthcare workers. This behavior is particularly common in emergency departments and can disrupt care processes. The Directorate plans to launch a campaign to discourage unauthorized recording and highlight potential legal consequences. Health Minister Zsolt Hegedűs announced the opening of hospitals to the public, but some patients misunderstood this as permission for unrestricted recording.
