St Martin University Hospital in Martin has been facing many challenges since the beginning. After the successful settlement of the land, it met another important milestone. "Unfortunately, the first public procurement of the hospital contractor under the previous government ended in a fiasco. I am pleased that the winner of the second public procurement is well-known and we will soon proceed to the construction works. I believe that the honest fulfillment of the milestones will take us step by step towards the desired goal and Slovakia will see a modern health workplace with top equipment that will serve not only patients but also our future doctors, said Minister for Health Zuzana Dolinková.
The Ministry of Health has concluded a contract with the University Hospital in Martin to provide resources to the Recovery and Resilience Plan mechanism with effect from 12 November 2022. On the basis of the resolution adopted by the Government of the Slovak Republic, Appendix No 1 to the contract was concluded, which modified the financing of the project from resources of the Recovery and Resilience Plan to 256 748 815 €, VAT excluded. The financing of the project's expenditure after exhaustion of the mentioned contract amount will be from the free resources in the Recovery and Resilience Plan, from EU sources, from the state budget of the Slovak Republic or from other alternative sources of financing, which was approved by the Government of the Slovak Republic at today's negotiations.
–After the hospital in Banská Bystrica, the University Hospital in Martin is another important project to which the Recovery and Resilience Plan has allocated EUR 256 million, VAT excluded. As in Banska Bystrica will be a complex and modern medical facility that will provide high comfort to patients, staff, as well as medical students. This hospital will also bring significant improvements in health care with 660 beds." said Minister of State for the Recovery Plan and the Knowledge Economy, Alena Sábelová.

Three construction companies submitted price offers in public procurement for the contractor. The evaluation process was completed on 14 May 2024 and no objections were raised by unsuccessful tenderers within the legal 10-day period. The deadline for the delivery of the hospital under the gross construction stage so-called "Shell and Core" is set until 30 June 2026, equipped hospital at the level of "Full fit out" the contractor undertook to deliver by 31 December 2028. –The hospital has the potential to implement the project of a new university hospital as a top health care provider in the region of north-western Slovakia for a long time horizon, also given that the catchment area of the hospital will not change and is expected to increase demand, especially in specialised departments, which currently have longer time limits for diagnostics and setting up therapy for capacity reasons.Minister Dolink has approached.
Despite the turbulent period, the hospital's project team in Martin has managed to face challenges. A major step forward is today's signing of a contract with the contractor, which will guarantee the fulfilment of the conditions necessary for the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan. This project is crucial for the future of Slovak health," State Secretary Alena Sábel closed.
St. Martin's University Hospital will have its own outpatient, diagnostic and therapeutic part, a separate tract for children's medicine and emergency reception with a trauma centre that will be adapted for mixed operation of children and adults. It creates 660 beds in mostly single standard rooms. The new university hospital will bring ideal conditions for a modern way of providing health care. Unique design with sophisticated logistics and sophisticated IT infrastructure, using smart solutions, will simplify and streamline the work of health professionals and make patient stay more pleasant. The project is designed with minimal environmental impact. Equipment with state-of-the-art technologies will make medical achievements available to patients while providing optimal conditions for the upbringing of future health professionals, as it will be the teaching basis of students at the University of Jessenio Medical School in Martin.
After many of the obstacles we had to deal with, we have successfully completed the public procurement process for the construction contractor of St. Martin's University Hospital, and today we are signing a contract that will move this important project to the start-up phase. We believe that at the end of this whole effort the patient will be satisfied and that the new hospital will be a huge benefit not only for the Turkish region, but also for the whole of Slovakia,said Martin Peter Durný, the director of the University Hospital and added: "Our aim is to build an excellent and modern hospital participating in international scientific and research projects, constantly bringing innovation not only to the care of patients, but also to the life of health professionals. At this point, I would like to thank all the interested parties who have invested enormous effort to bring the project of Saint Martin's new University Hospital to a successful conclusion.
