Belgrade,
18 May 2007
Serbian Minister of Health Tomica Milosavljevic announced today that one of the Ministry’s priorities in the upcoming period will be to reconstruct all maternity wards and hospitals in Serbia.
At the opening of the 6th Serbia and Montenegro Perinatal Medicine Congress at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Milosavljevic recalled that one of the Ministry’s main concerns in the last several years has been care of mothers and children and added that perinatal medicine is the noblest branch of medicine.
He said that in 2007 the reconstruction of clinical centres in Belgrade, Nis, Kragujevac and Novi Sad should begin and works on all 157 health centres in Serbia are expected to be concluded in the next six months.
According to Milosavljevic, protection of mothers and children will be on the agenda at the meeting of the World Health Organisation’s European delegations scheduled to take place in Belgrade from September 17-20.
President of the Serbia and Montenegro Association for Perinatal Medicine Nebojsa Radunovic recalled that this branch of medicine developed in Serbia pretty quickly and the national association was among the first ones to be formed in Europe as far back as 1979.
He also delivered awards to experts who made a special contribution in this branch, such as President of the Geneva University Hospital in Basel Wolfgang Holzgreve and Sinan Beshash from the Ankara School of Medicine. Serbia’s Radmil Jovanovic was delivered an award for life-time achievement.
The congress will last three days and lecturers will be experts from Serbia, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel, Romania, Greece and Turkey.
