Minister opens angio rom

Minister of Defense Dragan Sutanovac opened today at the Military medical Academy the new angio operating room which ranks as one of the most technologically advanced in Europe. this piece of equipment enables performing precise and complicated procedures on blood vessels and the nervous system.

Minister Sutanovac on this occasion said that this was a 1,8 million EUR worth of project which represents a good way to end the year at MMA as is the case with the whole defense system.

– It is important to us that the military health care beneficiaries get the best possible treatment at MMA but also that the civilians, who are being treated today here have that option and should not wait in long lines-as the minister pointed out. He reminded that the defense system had incorporated military hospitals in Nis and Novi Sad and that MoD would be active on equipping them and making them respectable and renowned medical institutions.

– It is our goal to make one recognizable world brand, the military health care system of Serbia which has already taken its position in Congo and Chad, as minister stressed adding that there is a wide interest of our doctors to be engaged all over the world.

Minister added that all this medical equipment was economically affordable and would after qa certain period of time start making money for the defense system, since the budget had been made very restrictive.

Head of the MMA Major General Miodrag Jevtic said that this was a grand day as such an expensive machine significantly decreased the waiting time, and provides doctors to help their patients more effectively and quickly. He expressed hope that the Ministry would continue investing in MMA thus benefiting not only military medical insurance beneficiaries but also all the citizens of Serbia.
