Overview

Students of the Public Health Care course from Trnava University have found interesting work in hospitals and are focused, for example, on the quality of health care. Many are employed by occupational health protection organisations, health insurance companies, or pharmaceutical firms. We would like to see the state public health service provide more impetus for research, which would certainly attract more PhD. graduates
