The Republic of Serbia will donate equipment for the hospital in East Sarajevo and the health center in Srebrenica

After the meeting in the Palace of Serbia, the two ministers announced that the value of the donation is 1.8 million dinars for the hospital, that is 26 million dinars for the health center. In question are equipment for maxillofacial surgery in Hospital Srbija and equipment for physical medicine, biochemistry and ultrasound for Srebrenica.

Minister Grujičić pointed out that this is one of the ways to help the Republika Srpska, and that it will take a short time to acquire the equipment, and that especially good cooperation was established during the Corona virus pandemic.

Prof. Grujičić assessed that adequate solutions for palliative care can be learned from colleagues from Republika Srpska. "For the most vulnerable patients, who need palliative care, parts of the covid hospitals could help relieve the patients' families, so that they receive adequate care," said the minister and announced that she will discuss this concept with the Minister of Labor and Employment, veterans and social issues Nikola Selaković.

Dr. Šeranić pointed out that palliative care is between medical and social assistance, because patients are mostly old and infirm, suffering from serious, chronic, non-communicable diseases. Answering questions from journalists, prof. Dr. Grujičić pointed out that the law banning smoking in closed spaces is being actively worked on, and she rated the initiation of aneurysm screening in cities across Serbia as extremely successful. "In Zrenjanin, as many as 360 patients were examined, and 16 aneurysms were discovered," said Dr. Grujičić. This was the second meeting between the two ministers in the current mandate of the Government of Serbia, with a mutually expressed intention to have regular meetings.
