The National Public Health and Medical Officer Service of Hungary has refused HCLU's public interest data request inquiring about the number of hospital-acquired infections. In response, HCLU has turned to the courts to enforce the publication of these data.

This comment made it obvious that the actual number of hospital-acquired infections is unknown in Hungary.
