The Slovak government has initiated a major transformation of the F. D. Roosevelt Hospital in Banská Bystrica, designating it to become a university hospital. This initiative includes the creation of a new medical faculty under the Slovak Medical University. Prime Minister Robert Fico stated the facility is being rebuilt as a “super-modern European quaternary hospital,” with hundreds of millions of euros in planned investments from the Recovery Plan for construction and equipment.

As part of these ongoing infrastructure improvements, the hospital’s reconstructed psychiatric clinic has officially opened. Following renovations to a historic 1901 building funded by five million euros from European funds, the modernized facility now offers 59 inpatient beds and 20 day care spots, featuring upgraded medical technology and improved amenities for patients and staff.
