Army could mitigate the shortfall of physicians

Ministry of Health did not contact the Ministry of Defense in the context of the mass departure of doctors so far. Slovak Armed Forces may, if necessary, offer dozens of doctors mainly focused on the acute medicine, i.e. anaesthesiology, emergency medicine, surgical departments. By the possible shortfall of 2 400 doctors, however, the capacity of MoD would be insufficient. MoD also cannot provide experts from all areas, for example there are no paediatricians or gynaecologists.
