NEW HEMOFARM PREPARATIONS TO APPEAR SOON

A new surgical block in the health center in Vršac
HEMOFARM'S SUPPORT TO THE HEALTHCARE IN VRŠAC
The completion of the works on the construction of the new surgical block in the health center in Vršac was marked by a
festive ceremony in July. This entails a modern concept of surgical facilities following European standards and all licences
required for even the most demanding operations. The new surgical block has been built from the funds of the fourth
voluntary contribution for healthcare in the municipality of Vršac.
The old surgical block was opened in 1964 and since then until the present voluntary contribution there had not been any
significant investments. In March 2004 a commission of the Ministry of Health issued a decision in which the health center
in Vršac was instructed to provide the technical-construction conditions, i.e. to bring the space into a state which would
provide safe treatment and fulfill the defined conditions for the performance of healthcare services.
In such circumstance the management of the health center in Vršac contacted Hemofarm asking it for expert assistance,
which Miodrag Babić accepted unreservedly. Hemofarm Engineering made a preliminary projection of activities in April
2004 and suggested the technical – technological solution based on which five surgical rooms with follow-up facilities
would be built on an area of 855 square meters. Hemofarm engaged in June of the same year Mrs. Ursula Dul from an
Austrian design company, who made the functional plan, a modern, European and economic solution including the
international standard. Parallely with the building we purchased also the equipment – said dr. Slavko Timotijević, a doctor
from the health center in Vršac who thanked afterwards Hemofarm, which had given besides the expertise support, also
100,000 dollars for the building and equipment of the surgical block.
The president of Hemofarm, Miodrag Babić congratualted on the victory of work, expertise and enthusiasm, and then he
pointed out the significance of the implementation of the European standards in healthcare in our environment.
I wish that we could shorten the investment time in the future, when we already have secure sources. This was not possible
earlier, but now it is. This would be the greatest expression of gratitude to the citizens of Vršac who have accepted a
voluntary contribution for the fifth time for healthcare, that we use the funds rationally and quickly and invest them for the
benefit of all of us – said Babić.
The president of the municipality Jovica Zarkula congratulated the company Rasing from Vršac on the well done job, and
then the director of the hospital and his associates.
The municipality of Vršac has given its contribution as much as it could. This is a great day for all in the region. The fourth
voluntary contribution has been materialized, and proof that we have been on the right track is that the citizens of Vršac
accepted for the fifth time the voluntary contribution for healthcare, which would be spent on equipping the healthcare
center and the clinics on the territory of the whole municipality. We are one of the rare municipalities which resolves the
problems in healthcare by voluntary contributions, and this is proof of the awareness of the citizens and therefore I wish to
thank them for their trust – pointed out Zarkula.
The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia, proclaimed the health center in Vršac last year at the National
Conference on the Advancement of the Quality of Healthcare as the best hospital in Serbia on a territory of up to
100,000 people.
