New COVID hospital opens in Novi Sad

Novi Sad, 2 September 2021

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic attended today the beginning of work of a new COVID hospital in Novi Sad, which is being opened four months after the beginning of construction.

This is the third COVID hospital in Serbia, after Batajnica and Krusevac, and it will start admitting coronavirus patients tomorrow.

Brnabic said that RSD 3.9 billion were invested in the construction and around RSD 17 million in the equipment, and added that the level of equipment and care that patients will receive will be at the highest level.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the construction of this health institution is important for Novi Sad because it will be turned into a general hospital once the coronavirus epidemic is over.

It solely depends on us how fast the epidemic will pass, but it depends on all of us, on herd immunity which we cannot achieve without vaccination, the Prime Minister underlined and called once more on all citizens to get vaccinated.

According to her, thanks to these hospitals, many young health workers have been employed – nurses, technicians and resident physicians.

Brnabic also said that the salaries of health workers have increased considerably over the past 10 years, but that working conditions are also important, which will be much better.

She announced one more salary increase for health workers as of next year, which will attract many health workers who left Serbia and it will also motivate all those working in the country not to go abroad.

The COVID hospital in the Novi Sad neighbourhood of Miseluk spans 19,500 square metres and will have 220 beds at intensive care unit and 404 at semi-intensive care unit.
