Will a praiseworthy new project in an unfinished building in the capital be realised?
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 5th of February, 2018, the appropriate commission is chaired by the Minister of Health, whose members are from three other ministries and from the City of Zagreb, but the job of organising and designing the project is that of the Croatian Minister of Health, Milan Kujundžić.
The National Children's Hospital or the "new (nova) Klaićeva" will be located in the building of an unfinished University Hospital in Blato, Zagreb, and the Minister of Health Prof. dr. sc. Milan Kujundžić is leading the commission that has the task of defining very specific needs this week, such as the number of beds, departments, necessary equipment, etc.
As Vecernji List writes, after the preparation of all the necessary documentation follows the announcement of an international tender for the project itself, which will then apply for funding from European Union funds by the end of the year.
This plan is a plan which been rejected by all those in competent positions so far, so we'll remind ourselves of just a couple of points - the construction of a new building near KB Dubrava, and the placement of a children's clinic in the Poliklinika Medikol building, for which an assessment was also made.
At the end of last year, the Government of the Republic of Croatia appointed a commission with the task of analysing the situation and identifying the need for the development of clinical pediatric care in the city of Zagreb, as they say from the relevant ministry, and proposing solutions for finances and for potential sources of funding, including the end-goal of the possible construction of national children's hospital in Zagreb.
The relevant commission is chaired by the Minister of Health, whose members are from three other ministries and from the City of Zagreb, but, as mentioned the job of organising and designing the project is that of the Minister of Health, Milan Kujundžić.
Following the decision from the government, Kujundžić invited 51 experts from various areas relating to the subject at hand, mostly pediatricians, but also gynaecologists, epidemiologists, hospital directors, experts from the Faculty of Medicine and more, in order to exchange thoughts and define every detail of the National Pediatric Hospital building, which is set to include a maternity and reproductive center.
