Košice Hospital Faces Financial Crisis as Creditors Demand Nearly 50 Million Euros

The hospital in Košice, Slovakia's second-largest city, is confronting severe financial difficulties as creditors are seeking nearly 50 million euros through enforcement proceedings. The healthcare facility has acknowledged the debts, but the executor handling the collection process has indicated that the likelihood of successful recovery is low.
