F.D. Roosevelt University Hospital with Policlinic Banská Bystrica (Slovak: Fakultná nemocnica s poliklinikou F. D. Roosevelta Banská Bystrica) is a major hospital serving the area of central Slovakia. It consists of 11 clinics.[1]

History[edit]

The hospital was founded in 1900 as City Hospital of Banská Bystrica. It had 125 beds and its first head physician was Ľudovít Rajčič [sk], who is also considered the hospital's founder.[1]

After World War II the hospital received its current name in honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the US president during WWII. The current premises with over 1,100 beds were built in 1968. In 2019, a rebuilding of the hospital was announced.[2]

Among its notable patients is Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who is currently being treated in the hospital in a serious condition following an assassination attempt against him on 15 May 2024.[3]
