Addressing reporters following a tour of the hospital, Macut said that this rehabilitation centre has a long tradition and is the only institution in Serbia where patients with type 1 diabetes can stay for ten days a year at the expense of the Serbian Health Insurance Fund.
He stated that the hospital, the only one in Serbia specialised in extended treatment, education and rehabilitation of children living with diabetes, admits approximately 1,000 children annually, adding that its capacity does not meet demand.
According to him, the hospital is a good example of an integrated approach to the treatment and care of people with diabetes, which affects not only the patient but also the entire family.
At the same time, the Prime Minister said that the introduction of the e-Sick Leave system is an important step towards the digitalisation of healthcare and raising the level of healthcare services, assessing that this system will make work easier for everyone – from patients to employers and doctors.
He assessed that the introduction of e-Sick Leave signals the modernisation of the entire healthcare system, namely the transition to digital clinics and digital hospitals, with the aim of establishing a highly efficient tertiary level of care.
Speaking about the development of Aranđelovac, the Prime Minister said that in the coming period, the municipality should be promoted as a healthcare and tourist centre, and in this regard emphasised the importance of developing infrastructure and the road network.
