And that is precisely what made our school distinguishable both in the region and beyond. This gives us reason to be proud of you because each class proves by its extraordinary academic results that we have truly selected the best out of the best, and that we should not worry about the future of military health in our country. I am certain that this will remain the same in the future as well – underlined Colonel Dr Vukosavlјević and added that the MMA Medical Faculty changed and enhanced which was proved by the accreditation of Higher vocational school for nurses that would enrol ten nurses from the defence system and ten self-financing students this year.
