New Military Dispensary
The Military Health is getting stronger and stronger.
- The supreme commander of the Serbian Armed Forces Aleksandar Vučić has given a clear order to me and the Chief of General Staff that the armed forces must be strong and satisfied. They are strong when we arm them, they are strong when we train them, and they are satisfied when we provide them flats, when we increase the salaries, daily allowances and of course when we improve health protection. The health protection is a significant necessity of each of our members, of both active and retired ones – said today Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin during his visit to newly opened dispensary on Bežanijska Kosa.
He underlined that the Serbian Armed Forces do not differentiate between the active and retired servicemen. According to Minister Vulin they are all members of the defence system who dedicated their lives to their country so the fact that they are active or no longer active means absolutely nothing.
- It is up to us to make them and their families safe, satisfied and protected. Our policy is to make the health protection in the armed forces available to the users, where a great number of our insured live, our members. We will endeavour to open such and similar facilities so that they can have the basic medical protection at one place without burdening the MMA, and without leaving the place where they live. This dispensary will be supported by a Medical Emergency part so we will enable providing this segment of medical protection here as well, to reduce the time required to perform intervention, and to make medical protection closer to the users in each case – Vulin said.
According to the minister the military health is the pride of the entire armed forces, and the military insured should be satisfied and proud of being a part of the security system, for being part of the Serbian Armed Forces, and he added that the Armed Forces of Serbia never forgot that which could be seen in the betterment of the quality of their life and the health protection.
Head of Military Health Department Colonel Dr Uglјeša Jovičić stated that at the beginning of the year Minister Aleksandar Vulin had tasked the military health to make a qualitative step forward in providing medical services to the military insured.
- In this respect and as an implementation of that task, we are here today, on these premises to open a dispensary in Bežanijska Kosa, where we are relocating the dispensary of the Centre of the Military Medical Institutions of Belgrade. Here our users will receive services in the field of general medicine, internal medicine and paediatrics to be exact, with laboratory analysis, and to make the service complete, we have also opened a pharmacy here – said Colonel Jovičić.
He pointed out that the new dispensary would not have been opened in such a short time and equipped without the assistance of the Infrastructure Department which had prepared the location in a very short period.
President of the Association of military pensioners Ljubomir Draganjac expressed his satisfaction with the opening of the new dispensary and stressed that the situation with the health protection of the military pensioners had significantly improved in the recent past.
- I have to underline that tremendous progress has been made regarding procurement of medicines. The state used to be almost critical, and now, almost all military pensioners praise the significant improvement and the fact that they can find all necessary medicines in military pharmacies. We are quite pleased with the announcement that the construction of the Gerontology Centre that is going to start soon which is a necessity of a great number of pensioners. If this trend continues, we will have no objections regarding the health protection – Draganjac said.
Today Minister Vulin was accompanied by the Chief of General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, General Ljubiša Diković and State Secretary Bojan Jocić.
