Health Minister Reduces Crisis Managers in Hospitals, Says Will Not Pay Them for Nothing

Slovak Health Minister Kamil Šaško is cutting the number of crisis managers working in the country's hospitals, stating he refuses to pay them for doing nothing. Slovakia currently employs 89 crisis managers across its hospital network. The move represents Šaško's effort to reduce what he views as unnecessary spending on administrative positions within the healthcare system. Crisis managers were typically appointed to oversee hospital operations during financial or operational difficulties, but the minister appears to question their current effectiveness and value.
