Imagine this: The Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) and the Danilo General Hospital in Cetinje have finally decided to join forces in the field of surgery. The goal? To shorten the endless waiting lists for planned surgeries. Yes, you read that right – patients might finally get their operations without waiting months or years!
The agreement, approved by the Ministry of Health, foresees a continuous 24-hour engagement of KCCG surgeons at the Cetinje hospital. This means surgeons from the Clinical Center will work at Danilo Hospital, using operating rooms and hospital beds for elective surgical procedures.
This collaboration is hailed as a major step towards better utilization of resources and increased accessibility of healthcare services to citizens. KCCG claims this is proof of unity and the healthcare system’s ability to handle challenging situations. But is it really?
Waiting lists for surgeries in Montenegro have been a persistent problem for years. Patients are often left on their own, waiting months to get their turn. This collaboration could be a light at the end of the tunnel, but the question remains – will there be enough surgeons, equipment, and space to truly reduce the waiting lists?
While the authorities boast about this agreement, patients are still waiting. Will this collaboration be just another paper on the desk or the start of real change? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, if you’ve ever waited for surgery, you know how important this is. And if you’re a doctor or healthcare worker, maybe you have something to say about this move. Don’t be shy – share your thoughts, because this topic deserves to be talked about loud and clear!
