The Japanese government donated a total of 10 state-of-the-art monitors to the clinic.
Nagai said that this donation is very important for Serbia because children will shape its future, and that it is also a sign that Japan supports efforts of the University Children's Clinic to create a safe health environment for Serbia's children.
He voiced hope that this donation will contribute to the improvement of health care in Serbia, and recalled that in 2003 the Japanese government donated five monitors for intensive care to the clinic, whose total value stood at €126,480.
Over the past eight years, Japan has been investing in 84 facilities for basic needs of the population, half of which are in the field of health care, Nagai specified.
Director of the University Children's Clinic Zoran Krstic thanked the Japanese government for the assistance and said that all 15 posts at the intensive care ward will from now on be under quality supervision of the best doctors, who will be able to react more quickly to possible changes in the patient's health condition.
Serbian Assistant Minister of Health Goran Ilic thanked the government and people of Japan and underlined that Japan has been helping Serbia for several years already and that it makes great efforts to turn Serbia into the centre of this part of the Balkans.
Ilic said that Japan's total assistance to Serbia in the past several years is $198 million.
Belgrade Deputy Mayor Radmila Hrustanovic said that 1.2 million people are treated at the University Children's Clinic every year, not only from Serbia, but also from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and the entire region.
