-We are ready for the third wave, and I would like to warn all our citizens once again that no one can help us if we do not help ourselves. No military or civilian health care can admit all patients. They cannot cure every person that might get infected if the disease is not under control, if we do not wear face masks and if we do not take care. Listen to what military doctors tell you, what professionals tell you, take care – emphasized Minister Vulin adding that only we ourselves can beat the epidemic and that we cannot be ready for it if we do not do these simple things.
Military health care, says Minister Vulin, is ready to help its country, its Armed Forces and the citizens of Serbia.
- We have plentiful amounts of everything we need, but I ask you to look after each other. Only we can help each other – Minister Vulin concluded.
