BUDAPEST: The European Commission has earmarked more than €160 million for the development of Hungarian hospitals in Hungary, Hungarian news agency MTI reported yesterday. A new hospital complex which will be built in Nyíregyháza, northeastern Hungary for €56 million, will receive €44 million of its construction budget from EU coffers.
A €54 million expansion of a clinic in Szeged, southeastern Hungary, will receive €43 million, while the modernization of the hospitals of Pécs and Kaposvár, in southwestern Hungary, will receive €39 million and €35 million, respectively.
