The health study series that the Orbán government wanted to keep secret is now public.

The Hungarian government has released a six-part study series by the Boston Consulting Group, commissioned in 2020, to analyze the healthcare system's issues and propose reforms. The government paid 352 million HUF for the studies, which were initially classified for ten years. The documents suggest significant changes, including reducing hospitals and reshaping the primary care network. Critics argue that the previous government was aware of the healthcare problems but failed to address them transparently. The Ministry of Health acknowledges that while some proposed measures were attempted, they were not part of a cohesive reform strategy, leading to ongoing deficiencies in the system.
