Hospitals in Dolný Kubín, Trstená, Čadca and Liptovský Mikuláš agreed that they are really threatened by bankruptcy. Hospitals of the Žilina region have minimum numbers of employees, the payments from insurance companies, however, are still not enough for salaries and mandatory contributions, in addition the pharmaceuticals and medical supplies are being purchased on debt. If they followed the law and increased the salaries of nurses in April, directors would have to close the hospitals.
