Graduate students from universities in Serbia will be able to attend a two-year post-graduate programme in the area of public health. Milosavljevic underlined that during the last decade the preventive role of public health was forgotten in Serbia.
Milosavljevic pointed out that the average Serbian family spends 3.2 percent of its income on health services, and 5.2 percent on cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.
The Minister stated that public health specialists from this school will bring about a change, and added that it was especially important that the post-graduate studies are in accordance with the Bologna Declaration.
European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR) representative Adriano Matins said that the opening of the school would contribute to improving preventive services of Serbia’s health system and aid its integration into European standards.
The first group will begin their studies today at the centre, which is part of the Clinical Centre of Serbia, 2 Paster St., Belgrade. The next group will be able to apply the following year, while the annual fee is €1,000 to be paid in dinars, Matins stated.
Graduate students of other faculties, such as law, economics, organisational sciences, as well as political science will also be able to attend the school. Lecturers will include university professors from Serbia and international experts.
School director Vesna Bjegovic told the Beta agency that besides post-graduate studies, the school will also include research and consultations relating to the creation of a national public health policy.
The European Agency for Reconstruction financed the school through an investment of € 2.5 million in premises, equipment, and teaching programmes.
