Slovak Ambulance Reps Appeal to Ombudsman Over Staffing Shortages

Ambulance representatives in Slovakia have formally petitioned the ombudsman to assess the availability of emergency medical services, amid a national shortage of doctors. Slovakia averages 3.7 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants, below the EU average, indicating systemic strain on emergency care. The ombudsman's review could lead to policy recommendations, but no immediate operational changes are expected.
