History
[edit]Beside the existing Motol hospital comples, a new hospital building was built in 1987-1993, the largest hospital in Europe at the time. It was designed by Yugoslavian team of architect Dušan Optrkić and structural engeener Vojislav Marisavljević.[1]
In February 2025, the 2025 Motol hospital bribery hit the news, in which Miloslav Ludvík, the director of Motol University Hospital, was dismissed on February 24, 2025, after being charged with bribery, subsidy fraud, damage to EU financial interests, and money laundering. The case involves 16–17 suspects, including Ludvík and his deputy, Pavel Budinský, who are linked to systematic abuse of public procurement processes for hospital construction contracts.[2][3][4]
