Share:
Health Minister Kamil Šaško is preparing another wave of debt relief for Slovakia's hospitals, according to a letter to the European Commission obtained by Denník N. The state initiative aims to address the billion-euro debt burden facing the country's healthcare system. However, hospitals will also be required to implement cost-saving measures as part of the plan. The ministry intends to conduct audits in five major hospitals to identify specific areas where spending cuts can be achieved, combining debt forgiveness with efficiency improvements in the healthcare sector.
