At Tuesday's press conference officially announcing the development, Péter Takács, State Secretary for Health at the Ministry of Interior, said:

The hospital in Siófok is in a special situation, as it has to provide health care for a population several times the size of the local population during the summer seasons.

The project is scheduled to be completed by early summer 2026

Mihály Witzmann, Member of Parliament for the region, said that the Ministry of the Interior contributed HUF 450 million to the renovation of the medical and nursing hostel in Siofok, and HUF 550 million was provided from the central budget with the support of the Ministry of National Economy. In the Competitive Districts Programme, the mayors of the region voted an additional HUF 127 million for the purpose, he added.

He also reported that, thanks to a donation from a local councillor, the institution's residents will be able to move into one of the city's hostels free of charge during the renovation. The complex renovation of the hostel on the grounds of the hospital in Siofok should be completed by the beginning of next summer, he added.

The press conference was also attended by the Mayor of Siófok, Róbert Lengyel.

Long-awaited investment starts

According to the city's news portal, the doctors' and nurses' hostel on the hospital site is two-thirds state-owned and one-third municipally owned. The lower level is occupied by GP surgeries, which have been maintained by the city, but the condition of the building is "tragic inside and out, requiring urgent intervention".
