After visiting the Zemun Hospital, the Minister of Health, Zlatibor Lončar, said that the institution received a state-of-the-art device for examining the heart, which lasts about one second, while, as he explained, the complete diagnosis takes less than five minutes.
The new 640 MSCT scanner supports full body scanning with low doses of radiation and special techniques of dynamic examinations of 3D perfusion of blood vessels, myocardium, brain, lungs, skeletal joint system, as well as other parenchymal organs.
-For the patient and the staff, that means a minimum of radiation and a finding that has not been possible on any scanner so far. This institution is the only one that has such a state-of-the-art scanner, and as far as I know, Slovenia has yet to get it, said Lončar.
He stated that the new scanner is intended not only for the examination of the heart but of the entire organism, and pointed out that the new equipment will contribute to faster and more efficient diagnostics and facilitate the treatment of patients.
Lončar also visited the new angio hall in which, as he said, interventions will be performed on the blood vessels of the heart, brain, neck …
– The staff will go for further training, and the doctors already had the first operation in the angio hall on Thursday and saved the life of a young man, said Lončar.
The Minister also announced the expansion of the hospital’s capacity, stating that the state bought the building of the Monastery in the immediate vicinity of that institution, whose value is 2.7 million euros.
As he said, after the reconstruction, there will be, among other things, an in vitro fertilization center in that building, which the Zemun Hospital has not had so far.
– This institution fulfills all the conditions to do that, and we want to help couples who have a problem with having children and to have as many children as possible, said the minister.
He stated that there will be a day hospital in the new building of 2,500 square meters, as well as that the capacities of the oncology and dialysis center will be expanded.
He announced that the hospital will start hiring new staff from January, who will work in expanded capacities.
-We will start with the admission of new doctors and nurses, with their training and development, to have staff ready when the reconstruction of the Monastery is completed and to know why we invest, because there are examples when investments were made in renovation and equipment, and hospitals had no one to work, said Loncar.
He added that Serbia has no problem with hiring medical staff, unlike many European countries.
– We calculated that some people will retire, some in the private sector or abroad, and we did not come to a situation where we have no time to hire. Some doctors are returning from abroad, salaries are higher, but I am sure that working conditions will be a decisive factor for young people to stay in the country, said Lončar.
He reminded that KBC Zemun has been working in the regime of daily duty as an Emergency Center for the Trans-Kosovo region since September, as well as that since then it has been working as a triage clinic for kovid patients.
-They spent a lot of time in the kovid system, achieved top results, only they know how they are and how they support themselves, so I appeal to the citizens to do everything in their power to preserve the health system and to be able to help patients who are not endangered. crown, said Loncar.
The director of KBC Zemun, Dragoš Stojanović, pointed out that the institution had the maximum support of the Ministry of Health for all projects that were realized in the last three years when the building of neurology, pediatrics, polyclinic was completely reconstructed and equipped in Zemun hospital …
– Now we have received the most modern scanner and a new angio hall, and the capacities will be expanded, said Stojanović and thanked the relevant ministry for the support in the renovation and equipment of that hospital.
He stated that KBC Zemun has 1307 employees, 100 more than two years ago, emphasizing that the staff is of the highest quality of that institution and that doctors and nurses have withstood three waves of the crown, and since September the daily duty mode.
-It’s not easy, we are tired, but the motive creates energy. When we have good working conditions, our salaries are higher, we send people for training both in the country and abroad, so we are side by side with the world, said Stojanović.
Since September, between 1,000 and 1,200 patients have been examined in the specialist Polyclinic of the University Hospital Center Zemun, that is, about 80,000 citizens.
This institution was in kovid mode on three occasions from March 2020 to May this year, and in that period 28,000 kovid patients were examined, and about 8000 patients with coronavirus were treated in that hospital.
