AmCham Slovakia

Letter to members by Vladimír Mičieta, Government & Public Affairs Manager, Johnson & Johnson, s.r.o.

In recent years, we have seen the Slovak healthcare system suffer from inadequate financial
resources, especially in hospitals and other inpatient facilities. This trend continues despite higher expenditures in healthcare as percentage of GDP, which is now comparable to other EU countries, and which is actually higher than other countries in the region. On the other hand, healthcare spending per capita remains among the lowest in the EU. Considering the changes and statistical data, the Slovak healthcare system can be considered as progressing, but also overburdened.
