Bodies of the Institute

Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board oversees the activities of NIHO and its director and approves the institute's budget. The Board consists of four members. One member is nominated by the Association of Health Insurers, one is nominated by the employees of NIHO, and one each by the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic and the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic. The role of a member of the Supervisory Board is to defend the best interests of the institute, not to defend the interests of the institution that nominated them.

Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee helps NIHO understand the interests, motivations, and preferences of various interest groups in the field of Slovak health care. Committee members answer complicated questions that do not have an unequivocal answer, for example concerning societal values. A member of the Committee answers questions related to value judgements from his personal position. He or she brings knowledge of the context of the nominating interest group.
