Minister of Health Vojislav Šimun opened today in Podgorica the National Training Program on the Quality of Healthcare and Patient Safety, which is being implemented in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO).
Welcoming representatives of healthcare institutions from all over Montenegro, Šimun emphasized that this program represents an important step forward in building a healthcare system in Montenegro that should be resilient, fair, people-centered, and based on the principles of safety and quality.
He especially thanked the WHO for its financial and technical support, as well as for its long-standing partnership and trust.
"Thanks to the WHO, Montenegro has the opportunity to apply the best international standards and learn from the successful experiences of countries in the region and Europe," said Šimun, according to the Ministry of Health.
He emphasized that this program is not just training, but a strategic initiative that empowers healthcare professionals, managers and leaders to become drivers of change. "Through the development of knowledge, skills and a common language of quality and safety, we are building a community of practice that will encourage cooperation, exchange of experiences and long-term improvement of healthcare in Montenegro."
The Head of the WHO Office in Montenegro, Mina Brajović, emphasized that the Ministry of Health is a pillar of the health system and a key partner in implementing reforms and improving the quality of health care.
The training program, as emphasized, will have a multiplicative effect, as participants will transfer knowledge and standards to their institutions, thus ensuring the sustainability and spread of a culture of safety and quality throughout the entire healthcare system of Montenegro.
"The Ministry of Health of Montenegro will continue to improve standards and practices in the field of healthcare, through partnership with the World Health Organization and other relevant institutions, with the aim of providing patients with safe, efficient and quality healthcare services," the statement reads.
