The reconstruction of the Special Hospital "Vaso Ćuković" Risan is in progress, all social and political circumstances are reflected in the functioning of the economy, but also the completion of all capital projects, stated Dr. Vlado Popović, director of this health institution.
"We consciously entered into a serious project, aware that we were reconstructing a building that was built back in 38, and we expected that there would be new challenges, and this all affected the changes in deadlines, and what affects the most is the rapid jump in material prices. "The most important thing is that the rough works are coming to an end. We have reached the stage of the beginning of the internal plaster works, and what is even more important is that the tenders for the procurement of medical equipment have finally been completed," said Dr. Popović.
Dr. Popović emphasized that the reception of patients was not stopped at any moment, thanks above all to all the employees.
"We are getting a modern emergency admission block with two modernly equipped rooms for treating the most urgent patients, four new outpatient clinics, a brand new x-ray cabinet, this is first and foremost an orthopedic house, and the installation of the new x-ray will start in September. We are also getting a new intensive care unit for the neurosurgery department , with five beds, which creates the conditions for the further development of neurosurgery in Risno."
What hinders the process of work and treatment much more is inadequate delivery of materials, prostheses, waiting lists are created, pointed out the director of the hospital.
"What is now a pressing problem are knee prostheses, the supply of which has slowed down in the entire region. At the moment, hip prostheses are the most in demand and the operations are going on smoothly, we are sorting out the waiting lists because the entire contingent was delivered a couple of months ago. However, the delivery of the prosthesis The knee has not been going the way it was supposed to for years, that's why I'm asking for the citizens' patience, and for the competent authorities to make an effort to solve this problem."
