Hungary's healthcare programme threatened by millennium bug

Executive Summary
Hospitals in Hungary will need to scrap or reprogramme at least 48,000 electronic systems, including critical care equipment such as heart and lung machines. This wholesale refurbishment is due to the millennium bug, which will affect much of the country's healthcare equipment and also bring repercussions to the entire service, which is already strapped for cash to spend on equipment.
