State Hospital Authority Makes Major CT Scanner Purchase as Agel Healthcare Group Faces Potential Exit

Slovakia's University Hospital in Bratislava has purchased new CT scanners worth over 1.6 million euros for its Antolská facility, as part of broader efforts by the state hospital authority UNB to expand equipment procurement. The investment comes amid moves to potentially remove the private healthcare company Agel from operations at the Antolská hospital. UNB, which operates several major hospitals in Bratislava including university teaching facilities, has been increasing its medical equipment purchases as Slovakia's healthcare system continues to grapple with modernization needs and the role of private operators in public healthcare facilities.
