New ultrasound scanner for children's hospital
Belgrade,
23 April 2004
Austrian Ambassador to Serbia-Montenegro Hannes Porias delivered today a €50,000 ultrasound scanner for detecting heart and blood vessel diseases to the Institute for Mother and Child children's hospital in Belgrade.
Porias said that part of the funds for the purchase of the machine was obtained through a donation of the Austrian government, and part was raised at a humanitarian concert of young artists from Austria and Serbia, held in Belgrade in October last year.
He said that sponsors from the two countries also took part in the collection of funds, adding that the Siemens company made the major contribution.
Serbian Minister of Health Tomica Milosavljevic, Institute Director Dragutin Trickovic and Belgrade Mayor Radmila Hrustanovic thanked the Austrian government and the Austrian Ambassador for the donation.
Trickovic said that the new ultrasound scanner for the detection of congenital and acquired heart diseases is very important for the Institute, which is the largest children's hospital in Serbia and Montenegro. He specified that 200,000 children are examined at the Institute per year, 20,000 receive hospital treatment and 5,500 undergo surgery.
Trickovic said that the Institute has significantly improved its medical potential in the past two years owing to new machines for the diagnosis and treatment of child diseases. He said that the reconstruction of the Institute's infrastructure and the equipment of its wards should begin in the course of the year, which will be financed through a €2.1 million donation of the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR).
