The DILS project is being implemented with the support of a World Bank loan worth €12.5 million, which will be released over the next four years, from September 2009 to December 2012.
The aim of the project is to assist the reform of the primary health care system (through decentralisation, informatisation, patient choice of General Practitioner, the capitation system in the financing and accreditation of health institutions) and to boost the capacities of institutions with the aim of increasing the availability, efficiency, balance and quality of medical services at the local level.
Regional meetings presenting the DILS project and helping to establish the project with local partners were also held in Kragujevac, Novi Sad, Nis and Belgrade.
