medicare-group.huHere’s what I can share about the latest news on Medicare in Hungary.
-
Summary of recent developments: In 2026, Affidea’s Hungary operations were transferred to Medicare Group. The move covers private diagnostics, outpatient, and occupational health services, with the Affidea brand remaining for up to 12 months during a transitional period. This indicates Medicare Group expanding its footprint in Hungary’s private healthcare sector and absorbing a leading European diagnostics player’s Hungary operations. This development was covered in industry reporting in April 2026 and suggests a consolidation move within Hungary’s private health services.[1][2]
-
What it means for patients and services: The transition aims to ensure continuity of care, with services continuing under the Affidea brand for up to a year before rebranding fully under Medicare Group’s network. It also signals Medicare Group’s intent to scale integrated, patient-centred care across diagnostics, outpatient, and occupational health services in Hungary.[2]

About Medicare Group: Medicare Group is a long-established private healthcare provider in Hungary, with clinics in Budapest (Eiffel and Alkotás), Vision Hospital, and several regional clinics, and a workforce of hundreds of medical professionals.

Context from industry sources: Public announcements and press coverage highlight the strategic fit of integrating a pan-European diagnostics model with a well-established Hungarian provider, emphasizing continuity of care and a phased transition to a new branding and network integration.[1][2]
