Serious complaints about illegal tendering at UKC Maribor: Ministry of Health requests emergency interview

The Ministry of Health has requested an emergency meeting regarding alleged illegalities in the tender process and appointment procedure for the chief specialist at the second-largest hospital in Slovenia, UKC Maribor. The hospital management has responded, stating that according to valid rules, the appointment of a specialist director is exclusively under the authority of the board, and therefore the hospital leadership has no responsibility for any irregularities. They further note that previous oversight by the Ministry did not find any violations related to the tender process or the selection of the new chief specialist.
