Slovakia Public Health Locator - Provides an Interventional Healthcare System
The Slovakia Public Health Locator is a free service provided by the Ministry of Health and Social Development. A family can become sick in the country and instead of seeking medical assistance, they turn to the family member closest to them. There are many different health care facilities in the Slovakia. Each one of these has their own characteristic. Sometimes a patient needs urgent surgery. If financial difficulties prevent the operation from being performed, the family member closest to the patient will take over the care of the patient.
This can create problems for both the patient's family and the patient. If the healthcare facility is not nearby or does not offer the necessary treatment for the sickness the family will be left with no choice but to wait for the sick person to recover. They will not be able to visit the healthcare facility to see if the treatment is successful. Even when they do go, the poor treatment that they receive there will have no impact on the recovery of the patient. The chances of the patient contracting the disease are high if the healthcare facility doesn't have specialists in infectious diseases. The family will need to travel quite far to get to the hospital and the doctors they require.
