The money donated by more than five thousand individuals and companies to help Montenegro in the fight against the new coronavirus will be invested in the construction of two clinics of the Clinical Center - for dermatovenerology and mental health.
In this way, these clinics will practically be a gift to the state, and at the same time a decades-long problem of the health system will be solved - the psychiatry clinic will finally be moved out of the inadequate space of the "shack" in Park Petrović and the building and land that is not owned by the KC.
Prime Minister Duško Marković said yesterday that the clinics will be built with money from donations instead of the budget, at a conference on "corona-free" destinations, which was attended by all members of the National Coordination Body for the Fight against Infectious Diseases (NCB).
Answering a question from "Vijesti" after the conference, Marković reminded that Montenegro, together with the European Union, is implementing a spending plan for the health care system.
"We wanted to finance the infectious disease clinic, but now they want to add four more to the 4,5 million and finance the infectious disease clinic, and we want to finance the clinic for skin diseases (dermatovenerology) and the mental health clinic with eight million, that's somewhere around nine million", said Marković to "Vijesta".
According to yesterday's data from the website coronainfocg.me, about 6,8 million euros were paid to help the state in the fight against the coronavirus.
According to a report dated May 18, over eight million euros were paid into the NKT account two months after its opening.
