The Party of European Progress announced that, after the elections on September 29th, it will initiate or launch more projects aimed at better quality and efficient health care for the citizens of Podgorica and better care for the elderly and children with developmental disabilities.
The most important project in this area, as written in the SEP announcement, is the new hospital in the capital, the construction of which would be encouraged with concrete activities and measures.
"Podgorica General Hospital would have two main goals. The first goal is to relieve the Clinical Center, which should finally start functioning as a tertiary level of health care. And the second is that you, dear fellow citizens, receive timely, adequate, high-quality examinations. That is why we will insist on building General Hospital Podgorica," said Jelena Knežević, a candidate for councilor from the list "Time for Order - Party of European Progress - Duško Marković".
The announcement adds that the SEP Program "Let's fix Podgorica" also defined measures to increase assistance to children with developmental disabilities. They also state that it is an alarming fact that this year 628 children were denied enrollment in the first grade of primary school due to language barriers.
"We must not turn a blind eye to this alarming problem. The strength and power of a country is measured by how much it allocates for the health care of its citizens, and for children. Unfortunately, we are witnessing that very little is allocated for children, especially for children who are disabled in development. We will strengthen the existing centers. We will bring in educated staff - speech therapists and therapists - and we will provide psychological support to the parents of these children. This is the only way we will have stable families that will be the pillar of the democratic society we strive for," said Knežević.
