Novi Sad preventive health care centre opens
Novi Sad,
23 June 2006
Serbian Minister of Health Tomica Milosavljevic opened a preventive health care centre in Novi Sad today.
Milosavljevic said that the setting up of preventive centres will improve citizens’ health culture and provide prevention of cardiovascular diseases, malign diseases and diabetes.
He explained that risk factors include inadequate nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, a high level of fat in blood, stress and noted that preventive methods can significantly reduce or eliminate these risk factors.
According to him, the task of these centres is to offer health services to people who want to check their health.
The Minister recalled that these centres are opened across Serbia and that they are places where citizens are to get advice and checkups whenever they need.
Head of EAR’s health programme Mathias Reinke expressed satisfaction because the EU is involved in primary health care promotion in Serbia. He said he hopes that Serbia will again become European leader in primary health care.
The centres for preventive health care are part of the Ministry of Health's project called "Improvement of Preventive Health Services in Serbia" financed by the EU and managed by EAR. The €3 million is financed by the EU and managed by European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR).
The centres are being opened in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Sombor, Pancevo, Kikinda, Sabac, Sremska Mitrovica, Zrenjanin, Subotica, Pozarevac, Valjevo, Cacak, Kragujevac, Nis, Cuprija, Kraljevo, Krusevac, Leskovac, Vranje, Pirot, Zajecar and Uzice.
