The President of the Municipality of Pljevlja, Dario Vraneš, today presented Mira Bajčeta with the "Dragana Loncović" award, which was awarded for the second time this year to the best nurse in Pljevlja.
At the initiative of the Mayor, the Pljevlja Municipal Assembly unanimously adopted the Decision in mid-October 2023 establishing the "Dragana Loncović" award for the best nurse/technician, which will be awarded every year on May 12th, International Nurses Day.
The award is given for exceptional success and results achieved in the development, expansion and improvement of the quality of the nursing profession, nurturing the principles of humanity, nobility, empathy and self-sacrifice for others.
The establishment of the "Dragana Loncović" award is a sign of gratitude to the brave nurse and a sign of respect to the nurses and health workers in Pljevlja.
Dragana was the first victim of the coronavirus among medical workers in Pljevlja. She worked in a Covid clinic and passed away on August 16, 2020 at the age of 36.
The winner of this year's award has been working for 46 years in the Surgical Department - Intensive Care at the Pljevlja General Hospital.
Mira has spent her entire working life working shifts, without a single sick day, dedicated to caring for the most seriously ill patients, with an inspiring humanity and sacrifice. And in the most difficult moments, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she selflessly moved to the Infectious Diseases Department to help the most vulnerable.
