Slovak President Peter Pellegrini emphasized that merging healthcare facilities is crucial for building a modern and accessible healthcare system in the country. He highlighted ongoing hospital modernization efforts across Slovakia, stating that healthcare accompanies people during the most critical moments of their lives and therefore requires quality modern infrastructure and well-trained professionals within the system. Pellegrini, who took office in June 2024 after serving as prime minister, has made healthcare reform a priority as Slovakia faces challenges with hospital capacity and medical staffing shortages common across Central Europe.
