The member of the SSP asked the Minister of Health Zlatibor Lončar how far the reduction of the waiting list has come. Lončar said in September that he was waiting for the president to return from America for this venture. Vučić came a long time ago, but the lists do not tell
MP of the Party of Freedom and Justice Tatjana Pašić asked the Minister of Health Zlatibor Lončar today how far we have come with reducing the waiting list for operations, bearing in mind that more than 700.000 patients are still waiting for intervention.
"The president returned from America a long time ago and nothing." And, we were only waiting for him", it is stated in the written statement of Pašić, in which it is specified that operations were scheduled for 2027 during October.
Citizens cannot even make an appointment with most specialist doctors, there are no appointments. The health system is in shambles, and the citizens are suffering and waiting, so who is waiting, Pašić stated, writes N1.
She said that it is a shame that no investment is made in healthcare, and billions of euros are allocated for the stadium and the Expo.
potter: "I need Vučić's help"
Lončar said in mid-September that he was waiting for the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to return from the United States of America, so that they could agree on a way to eliminate waiting lists in health institutions.
"I need his (Vučić's) help." Together we will make a plan. The result will be that we have no waiting lists, or that they are minimal. I would like the citizens of Serbia to support us in this".
He added that it is necessary to set aside additional money in order to solve the problem with waiting lists.
"When doing hip and knee surgeries, you need to get material that is not cheap," said Lončar.
He appealed to the citizens to go regularly for preventive examinations.
"We want a healthy Serbia, we will do everything to get there," said Lončar.
However, after this statement, neither the Minister of Health, nor Vučić, made any announcements.
What do the waiting lists look like?
