Miloslav Ludvík (born 5 September 1963) is a Czech politician and former Motol University Hospital director who served as Minister of Health from 2016 to 2017.[1] He is a graduate of the Faculty of Business of the University of Economics, Prague.[2]

Bribery affair

On 25 February 2025, Czech Health Minister Vlastimil Válek immediately dismissed Miloslav Ludvík, the head of Prague’s Motol Hospital, following a police raid that detained over a dozen people, including Ludvík himself.[3]

The hospital, the largest in the Czech Republic and a key institution serving more than a million patients annually, has been under his leadership since 2000, with the exception of a short period when he served as health minister. Ludvík is now among 16 individuals charged with bribery and fraud linked to construction contracts valued at over CZK 4 billion, underscoring a serious crackdown on corruption in the country’s healthcare system.[3]
