Slovak National Party Objects to Health Ministry Proposal That Could Restrict Cosmetic Services

The Slovak National Party (SNS) has raised objections to a proposed amendment from the Health Ministry, arguing it could threaten the work of cosmeticians by transferring some procedures they currently perform exclusively to the healthcare sector. SNS representative Lučanský stated the party believes certain treatments traditionally provided by cosmetic professionals would be restricted to medical facilities under the proposed changes. Health Minister Kamil Šaško has already pledged to withdraw and revise portions of the amendment in response to the concerns. The Slovak National Party is part of the ruling coalition government alongside Prime Minister Robert Fico's Smer-SD party, making their opposition to the health ministry proposal a potential source of internal government tension over healthcare regulation and professional licensing standards.
