Construction supervision failures identified at Prešov hospital project with millions in damages

Construction defects involving faulty support columns have been discovered at a hospital construction project in Prešov, with Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok's deputy Robert Kaliňák estimating damages in the millions of euros. The problematic columns were built starting in mid-March, and authorities have now identified the individuals responsible for construction supervision during the period when the defective work was carried out. The case highlights ongoing issues with construction oversight in major Slovak infrastructure projects, as the hospital represents a significant public investment in the eastern Slovak city of Prešov.
