As part of celebrating the Day of the Military Medical Academy, today at the Military Medical Academy an appropriate gathering was organised to celebrate the Day of the MMA Faculty of Medicine of the University of Defence in Belgrade. The ceremonial gathering was attended by vice-rectors of the University of Defence, teachers and cadets of the MMA Faculty of Medicine.Deputy Chief Colonel Prof. Dragan Dincic in his welcome address spoke about the specifics of the medical profession and stressed that the comfort and health is as important as science, culture, education, but it is still part of a special category, because it cannot be delayed.
- Everything can slow down or even stop for a moment, except for disease, which often comes suddenly and almost always unannounced – Prof. Dincic said and then spoke about patients, medical personnel sacrifice, their enthusiasm, but also on the problems of supply of medicines and medical movable assets.
He pointed out that the work of the institution is not based only on the enthusiasm of the employees, but also on the material support because, he said, even the greatest knowledge is not sufficient to remove and narrow the boundaries between health and illness.
- Medical professionals are optimistic according to their orientation, otherwise how would they work this difficult job. I am optimistic, too, because I believe in the real value of the MMA, I believe the MMA as a national asset, which by its strategic significance is far beyond the boundaries and personal preferences of any individual – the Deputy Chief of the MMA said at the meeting.
The Dean of the MMA Faculty of Medicine Colonel Prof. Nebojsa Jovic spoke about its operation. He said that 161 cadets are studying today at the MMA Faculty of Medicine, that there are eight students in specialist studies of, 23 of them in doctoral studies, while 213 are on the specialization.
