Based on the decision of the National Center for Public Health, in the period between September 11 and 13, the emergency patient care tasks of the Military Hospital will be taken over by the hospitals designated in the provision. In connection with the decision, in recent days, several individuals and media organizations have published articles on social media and other online platforms that have distorted the facts, deliberately deceiving and misleading the citizens, the Ministry of Defense writes in its statement.
Although it is clear from the decision that the statement that the Róbert Károly körüt location of the Honvédkórház will be closed during the International Eucharistic Congress is not true. On the contrary! While outpatient and inpatient care at the hospital continues to operate without interruption, citizens are not left without care, only emergency cases are redirected.
During these days, the employees of the emergency department do not take their leave or go on vacation, but perform tasks related to the health insurance of the congress at the venue of the event and, if necessary, at the Honvédkórház.
DK's Zoltán Komáromi also makes untrue claims when he says that "the entire central site will be closed." It will not be closed now, just as it was not done during the previous papal visit to Hungary, but the circle of health care providers now covers not only the pope, but all congress participants.
It seems that for the left it is still a surprise with the power of novelty that ensuring the health of such a significant event, which moves tens of thousands of domestic and foreign citizens, is a priority task for which preparations must be made at the highest level. It seems that they did not learn from the tragedy of August 20, 2006, and they would still be able to endanger thousands of people today, the announcement states.
