Hungarian health minister dismisses more hospital directors

Hungarian Health Minister Hegedűs Zsolt is continuing a significant shake-up within the healthcare system, with the director of the Zalaegerszeg hospital now reportedly facing dismissal.

This move follows a series of high-profile removals of hospital leadership in recent weeks. The minister's office has been actively revoking leadership mandates across various medical institutions.

Earlier in July, the chief director of the South Pest Center Hospital, Miklós Gondos, was dismissed. Additionally, Alíz Somogyi, the economic director at the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County Central Hospital and University Teaching Hospital, had her senior management mandate revoked. Róbert Révai, the medical director of the Budapest Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Hospital and Outpatient Clinic, also had his appointment terminated.

The ongoing dismissals suggest a broader restructuring or a change in management strategy within Hungary's healthcare sector under Minister Hegedűs Zsolt's direction.
