Košice Hospital Purchased X-ray Equipment Worth Hundreds of Thousands But Cannot Use It

A hospital in Košice, Slovakia's second-largest city, purchased X-ray equipment worth hundreds of thousands of euros but cannot use it to examine patients because the machines remain idle. The expensive medical equipment sits unused while necessary renovations of the facility spaces must be completed first. The situation highlights procurement and planning issues within the Slovak healthcare system, where medical institutions sometimes acquire equipment before ensuring proper infrastructure is in place to operate it.
