Montenegro's healthcare infrastructure will be further improved next year through five new investments, worth a total of around 4,5 million euros, which have been included in the Capital Budget Proposal, announced Minister of Health Vojislav Šimun.
He said that investments are focused on the specific needs of citizens and healthcare workers, with the aim of making the spaces where healthcare is provided more functional, more modern, and more worthy of the importance they have.
Šimun emphasized investments in healthcare infrastructure, the importance of investing in safety and the trust that citizens have in their healthcare system.
"We are investing in the parent who comes to the maternity ward, the patient who needs emergency care, and the healthcare worker who must perform his or her job in conditions worthy of the responsibility he or she carries," Šimun said in a statement.
Šimun said that these are investments whose significance goes beyond the present moment, emphasizing that the healthcare system should be left stronger and safer for future generations.
The proposed projects include the adaptation of the maternity ward of the Berane Clinical Hospital Center according to the Baby Friendly system, worth 981,7 thousand euros, the adaptation of the Emergency Medical Service of the Bijelo Polje General Hospital, worth 994 thousand; the adaptation of the Mojkovac Health Center, worth 760 thousand euros.
The renovation of the maternity ward of the "Danilo I" General Hospital in Cetinje, worth 650 thousand euros, is also planned, as well as the reconstruction of the health pavilion facility of the Tivat Health Center, worth 1,1 million euros.
Šimun said that these investments, from Berane and Bijelo Polje, through Mojkovac and Cetinje, respond to different needs and different levels of health care.
"This is the way we want to develop the system - so that quality is not a privilege of certain communities, but a standard that citizens can trust wherever they live. Our responsibility is not only to solve what is needed today, but to create capacities that the health system will rely on tomorrow," Šimun emphasized.
He emphasized that capital investments should be viewed as a long-term investment in the resilience and quality of the healthcare system.
"We are not building healthcare infrastructure just for one term, one generation, or one time. We are building it for the people who use the healthcare system today, but also for those who will use it decades after us," said Šimun.
Šimun said that the goal is for future generations in healthcare institutions that are being improved today to receive a modern, reliable and high-quality system that they can trust.
"It is the measure of our work – not just what we have done today, but what we have left behind for tomorrow," said Šimun.
