President Andrej Kiska on Thursday accepted the resignation of Zuzana Zvolenská from the post of Health Minister and subsequently appointed Ministry State Secretary Viliam Čislák as her successor.
Zvolenská resigned on Monday over the scandal involving the purchase of an overpriced CT device by Piešťany Hospital (Trnava region). The scandal has also cost hospital supervisory board chair Renata Zmajkovičová her post of parliamentary vice-chair.
