Fifteen years after the foundation of the Day Surgery Centre of the Military Medical Academy Polyclinic, a new operating room has been opened and the existing premises have been renovated.

Military healthcare system looks after all those who need medical attention. In the military healthcare system there has never been a question of whether you are a civilian, a soldier, Serbian, etc. The task of the military healthcare system is to alleviate human suffering and pain and heal – said Minister of Defense Aleksandar Vulin after today’s visit to the new operating room and renovated Day Surgery Centre of the MMA.

During the wars of the 90’s alone – Minister Vulin reminded, the MMA examined and treated more than 29,000 people and remedied the effects of the wars they were suffering from.

It is up to us to preserve and improve the high standards that military healthcare and the MMA have achieved. That is why we have reconstructed the operating room for the first time since it was founded 15 years ago. Our goal is for all our operating rooms to be modern and refurbished and that all the capacities of the MMA enable our patients to be treated in accordance with the highest world standards. We have capable doctors and nurses whose knowledge and commitment does not lag behind others, which is why our equipment and our conditions must not lag behind anyone else’s – emphasized Minister Vulin.

Congratulating on today’s holiday, theDay of the Military Medical Academy, Minister Vulin said that this was a great holiday not only for those who founded the institution, but also for all those who found remedy and help there.

Head of the Military Medical Academy, Colonel Miroslav Vukosavljević said that the renovation of the Day Surgery Centre and the new operating room will speed up work considerably and increase the number of surgeries.

Today, the axiom is to work in day surgery and to perform outpatient surgeries. Now that the third operating room has been opened, the Military Medical Academy is in keeping with the standards of all European and world institutions - said Colonel Vukosavljevic.

Head of the Day Surgery Centre of MMA, vascular surgeon, Colonel Ivan Marjanovic, emphasizes that the capacity of the Center has increased by a third by acquiring the third operating room.

In 2019 the Office of the Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic was relocated and the room was renovated and a third operating room was built where maxillofacial surgery specialists and otorhinolaryngology specialists work actively today in accordance with their daily schedule, as well as all the others for whom this room is intended.

In the second operating room, which has been renovated, eye and plastic surgeries are now performed, which has not been the case so far – explains Colonel Marjanovic.
