Slovenian hospitals reported significant financial losses in the first five months of the year, with the University Clinical Centers in Maribor and Ljubljana, along with the Ljubljana Oncology Institute, experiencing the highest losses. General and specialized hospitals across the country also recorded deficits, with ten hospitals operating at a loss. The General Hospital in Slovenj Gradec reported a deficit of 2.1 million euros in the first five months, exceeding its contractual plan in some areas but falling short in others due to staffing shortages. The Ptuj General Hospital faced a deficit of 1.7 million euros partly due to disruptions caused by the construction of a new operating block. Despite these challenges, hospitals aim to complete their contractual programs by the end of the year, with some indicating signs of improvement. Staffing shortages, particularly in doctors and healthcare workers, have increased operational costs, forcing reliance on temporary staff. Additionally, a 1% reduction in funding for healthcare services by the Health Insurance Fund has further strained hospital finances.
