Patients who need to undergo gastroscopy, colonoscopy, catheterization at the Clinical Center (KC) must have a negative PCR test for the new coronavirus.
This is what "Vijesti" answered from this institution when asked for which procedures a negative test is necessary, considering patients' complaints that they ask for a negative result for certain services even though they have been vaccinated against covid-19.
"A mandatory negative PCR test is required when planned invasive diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are performed (for example, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, catheterization...), then planned surgical interventions, as well as for all patients who are admitted for further hospital treatment. In case of emergencies, the testing is done upon admission to the Emergency Center, while in the case of planned patient admissions, it is necessary to have a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours along with the medical documentation", answered the KC.
They explained that all employees should have a negative PCR test after taking annual leave.
KC said that a negative PCR test is not required for outpatient examinations.
"It is only necessary that he does not have a temperature when coming to the examination and be asked if he has symptoms, while compliance with the recommended general preventive measures (disinfection of hands before entering the Polyclinic, wearing a protective mask and keeping a distance) is mandatory," it was announced.
