The Ministry of Health says in a statement that over €5 million has been secured for constructing and equipping the centre, situated at the Serbian Clinical Centre in Belgrade, specifying that the funds have been set side from the Serbian budget with the financial support of the Eurobank EFG, in the form of a €1 million donation.
The donation is part of ‘Investments in European Values’, a comprehensive programme of support to the social community in Serbia, through which over €3 million has so far been donated to education and health projects, as well as projects of support to the disabled and environmental protection.
The formation of the National PET centre is part of the Ministry of Health’s strategic plan to equip health institutions with state-of-the-art diagnostics equipment within the project ‘Serbia against Cancer’, bearing in mind the huge potential of PET techniques and the increased incidence of malignant disease in Serbia.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique which produces a three-dimensional image of even the finest bodily functions.
Owing to the huge diagnostic potential of this technique, the process of making correct diagnoses for the most serious diseases is markedly quicker, which contributes to timely and appropriate treatment planning.
The opening ceremony was attended by Director of the Serbian Clinical Centre Djordje Bajec, president of the Eurobank EFG Executive Board Filippos Karamanolis and Director of the Institute for Nuclear Medicine Vladimir Obradovic, adds the statement.
