Budapest Ambulance System Collapses - Quick Summary

• Hungary Around the Clock

The ambulance control system in Budapest went down again on Saturday afternoon for about a half an hour from 1:45 p.m., health expert Zsombor Kunetz reported on his Röntgen blog.

The ambulance system failure therefore occurred at the same time that healthcare workers were demonstrating on Kossuth tér against the poor conditions in the sector, organised by the medical chamber MOK and the medical trade union, he adds.

Kunetz reported on a critical ambulance outage two days ago.
