How can Slovakia’s healthcare system deliver the right care, in the right place, at the right time? The Future Slovakia Forum healthcare team has presented REFORMA 3.3 — an expert-led framework connecting six areas of healthcare into one coherent whole.
On 5 November 2026, Professor Róbert Babeľa presented the main proposals of REFORMA 3.3 at the Telemedicine conference in Bratislava. The framework was developed by Healthy Future of Slovakia, the healthcare initiative of Future Slovakia Forum, bringing together experts with hands-on experience.
The reform connects primary care, hospitals, long-term care, pharmaceutical policy, digitalisation and financing. Its starting point is simple: patients need continuity of care, not isolated solutions for separate parts of the system.
We do not promise to fix healthcare within a single electoral term. We offer an expert-led framework that is not tied to a political programme or electoral cycle. It draws on data, international evidence and the experience of people who understand day-to-day healthcare. We do not count unverified savings, and changes should be scaled up only once they have been tested and the necessary capacity is in place.
The new Healthy Future of Slovakia website brings together an overview of all six reform areas, the conference presentation and an edited transcript of Professor Babeľa’s address.
We invite healthcare professionals, experts, patients and families to explore the proposals and share their experiences. Real-world practice is the best test of any reform.
