Nemocnica Poprad

What Nemocnica Poprad does

Nemocnica Poprad, a.s. is a regional general hospital headquartered in Poprad, Slovakia, operating a 699-bed single-site campus with emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and diagnostic services. Founded in 1911 and operating under a joint-stock company structure, it serves as the primary referral hospital for the Podtatranský región, covering approximately 170,000 residents across the Poprad, Kežmarok, Levoča, Stará Ľubovňa, and Spišská Nová Ves districts. The hospital maintains 1,001-5,000 employees across more than a dozen clinical departments including urology, obstetrics, pediatrics (with a Level III.b neonatal intensive care unit), dermatology, surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics, traumatology, ENT, and neurology, plus a central operating theater block, diagnostic imaging (CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, densitometry), nuclear medicine, laboratories, a central sterilization unit, and a hospital pharmacy.

The hospital's technology footprint includes specialized urological equipment — a 3D laparoscopic tower (acquired 2016, used for radical prostatectomy), a Swiss Lithoclast Trilogy combined with laser lithotripsy, and a Siemens UROSKOP Omnia X-ray workstation — as well as a certified mammography screening unit, a urodynamics laboratory, and a dedicated women's milk bank. The facility holds BFHI Baby-Friendly Hospital certification (since 1996) and an associated charitable foundation (Nadácia Nádej pre vaše zdravie) supports equipment and patient-care improvements through public donations.

Revenue is generated primarily through the Slovak mandatory public health insurance system via contracts with VšZP, Dôvera, and Union, covering inpatient stays, outpatient consultations, emergency services, surgical procedures, and diagnostic imaging. A secondary, smaller revenue stream comes from direct-pay services (medical cosmetics, patient-requested examinations, TENS device usage at €20 per delivery) listed on a publicly available cenník (price list). Distribution is direct through the hospital's emergency department (24/7), outpatient clinics, and inpatient wards, with an online patient portal supporting appointment scheduling and e-prescription services. The hospital also engages in staff training partnerships (with Stredná zdravotnícka škola Poprad) and publishes transparency data under an "Open Hospital" initiative.
