Following the death of an 80-year-old patient, the director of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Hatvan, Miklós György Szedlák, was dismissed by the National Hospital Directorate. The incident involved a patient who was reportedly discharged in stable condition but was found unresponsive at home after being transported by a medical service. The family alleged the patient was moved in an unmonitored, seated position.

An internal investigation later identified ten organizational, professional, documentation, and communication failures at the hospital. While investigators stated that none of these errors could be definitively proven to have directly caused the death, five lapses were deemed to have potentially influenced the decision to discharge the patient. These failures included undocumented internal medicine consultations and improperly maintained observation logs. Police continue to conduct an administrative investigation into the circumstances.
