Linear accelerator radiotherapy machine put into operation in Nis clinical centre
Nis,
1 July 2005
Serbian Minister of Health Tomica Milosavljevic visited today the Nis Clinical Centre where a state-of-the-art linear accelerator radiotherapy machine was put into operation.
Milosavljevic told a press conference that all five clinical centres in Serbia have received modern machines of the latest generation, which will reduce the waiting time for the therapy from several months to just a few weeks.
The Minister announced that the European Investment Bank will approve new loans for Serbia's health system, which means that the Nis Clinical Centre will get a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance machine by the end of the year.
Speaking about the need for cutting the number of health workers, the Minister said that an invitation for voluntary retirement will be announced by late July, for which more than 7,000 health workers have already showed interest through a poll.
Milosavljevic added that those who have a year or two left to get the right to retirement will be offered the same severance pay that was given to civil servants to leave their jobs, all with the aim of creating job vacancies for a number of young doctors.
He said that the programme of rationalisation also envisages the separation of non-medical services from the system of health institutions and their financing according to market principles.
Head of the Oncology Department of the Nis Clinical Centre Stojan Radic announced new investments in the improvement and equipment of the radiotherapy block, in which €2.5 has been invested so far from the budget of Serbia, the Clinical Centre and the city of Nis.
