The governor of Banskobystrický kraj has expressed his pleasure with a recent interview with new parliament member Ms. Kolejáková, in which she focused significantly on the outpatient healthcare sector. He noted that despite her mentioning the region as an active initiator in the establishment of needed medical offices, she inaccurately stated their number as only four, whereas the actual count is three times that. Nevertheless, he values any contribution to public debate about the outpatient sector, especially since this issue is critical at this time.

The governor reflects on the existential uncertainty faced by potential founders of medical offices, which previously hindered the developmental program initiated in the region a few years ago. He emphasizes that the regional council has been allocating budgetary resources annually to support this initiative. The focus is primarily on healthcare not being an original or transferred competence of the regions but rather an urgent necessity to ensure public health and welfare in the community.

In conclusion, the communication around the healthcare sector is deemed essential for the region's development. The governor sees it as a crucial period where addressing the shortcomings in outpatient services can lead to better health outcomes for the population. His stance encourages continued political and media discussions to address these vital healthcare issues, thus fostering a more robust social welfare system in Slovakia.
