4. mark 2023
Acting Prime Minister Eduard Heger (OĽaNO), whom Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová entrusted with the temporary leadership of the Ministry of Health on Friday, can check all documents signed by the former Acting Minister of Health Vladimír Lengvarský over the past week. Heger stated this at a briefing following arriving at the Ministry of Health. “Yesterday, the list of successful applicants for investments in the construction and reconstruction of hospitals was published, this happened in the last hours of the minister’s departure, which I consider highly non-standard,” he said. According to him, these are investments in the amount of 212 million euros.
“This information went straight from the minister’s office and thus bypassed the standard processes, the communications department. That is why I requested a list of all the documents that the minister signed in the last few days. I will have them checked and then I will inform the public,” said Heger. He wants to be sure that everything was done transparently. “If not, then, of course, we will have to draw consequences,” added Heger.
The Ministry of Health announced on Thursday that eight hospitals in Slovakia will receive funds from the recovery plan intended to finance large investment projects. Hospitals in Poprad and Levice will each receive 42 million euros, the hospital with a polyclinic in Spišská Nova vsa will receive almost 40 million euros, and the hospital in Zvolen will receive almost 26 million euros. This is followed by the faculty hospital in Skalica, which will receive almost 23 million euros, and the Prievidza polyclinic hospital in Bojnice, which is to receive over 15 million euros. The hospital with a polyclinic in Bardejov will receive the smallest sums, namely almost 10 million euros, and the Kysuck hospital with a polyclinic in Čadec will receive 7 million euros.
Among the eight unsuccessful applicants there is a hospital in Pezinok, a faculty hospital with a polyclinic in Nové Zámky, a hospital with a polyclinic in Považská Bystrica, a hospital in Humenno, a hospital with a polyclinic in Michalovce, Svet zdravia with headquarters in Bratislava, a rehabilitation hospital in Hlohovec and a Lower Orava hospital with polyclinic in Dolní Kubín.
