What Univerzitná nemocnica L. Pasteura Košice does

Univerzitná nemocnica L. Pasteura Košice (UNLP Košice) is a state-owned university hospital headquartered at Rastislavova 43 in Košice, Slovakia, operating a second campus at Trieda SNP 1. Founded in 1924, it functions as the only Level IV tertiary (end) hospital in the entire Eastern Slovakia region, serving as the primary referral center for complex medical, surgical, and trauma cases. The hospital operates over 50 clinical departments and specialized clinics spanning emergency care, surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, neonatology, neurology, oncology, psychiatry, urology, and rehabilitation, supported by modern diagnostic capabilities including MRI, CT, and advanced endoscopic procedures. It is affiliated with the Medical Faculty of UPJŠ (Pavol Jozef Šafárik University), integrating clinical care with medical education and research, and has accumulated over €56 million in infrastructure investments across both campuses.

The hospital delivers services directly to patients across two 24/7 emergency departments and an extensive outpatient clinic network, funded through the Slovak public health insurance system under DRG-based contracts with public health insurers, with no direct patient billing for insured services. Revenue is supplemented by state budget allocations from the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic, which also provides strategic oversight. Notable specialized programs include the Pacientska Cesta patient journey for hip and knee replacement (the first structured program of its kind in Slovakia and the Czech Republic), vaccination services (COVID-19, HPV, influenza), public pharmacies, and the Neurological Clinic — a five-time consecutive recipient of the ESO Angels Diamond Award for stroke treatment. The institution is currently executing a major capital modernization cycle funded under Slovakia's Recovery Plan in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport and the Technical University in Košice.
