While not always mandatory for entry, comprehensive travel health insurance is strongly recommended when visiting Slovakia. Some European countries require proof of health insurance as part of visa or entry requirements. EU/EEA citizens may have partial coverage through the EHIC card, but full travel insurance is still advised for non-EU visitors.
