Share:
A new general medicine clinic specifically for homeless people has opened in central Bratislava, established by the civic organization Vagus. The facility is designed to serve an estimated 4,500 people living on the streets of Slovakia's capital city. However, the clinic faces significant staffing challenges as it continues to search for a doctor and nurse to operate the facility. The Bratislava city government's most recent count of homeless individuals found that 57 percent suffer from serious long-term health problems, highlighting the critical need for specialized medical services for this vulnerable population.
