The University Clinical Center Tuzla, Clinic for Children’s Diseases has opened a brand new operating room, offering the latest technology.
On the occasion, Ass. Prof. Edin Husarić, pediatric surgeon and head of the Clinic for Children’s Diseases said that until now pediatric specialists and their patients have used operating rooms of the Clinic for Surgery for surgical procedures, which implied long distance transport of a critically ill patient between two clinics of the same institution.
“The new operating room enables most pediatric surgery procedures to be performed at the Clinic for Children’s Diseases, which makes transport of patients easier and greatly alleviates preoperative stress, thus reducing postoperative complications.” said Dr. Husarić.
The direct construction and equipping cost of operating room was about 1 million BAM, funded by the University Clinical Center Tuzla and with significant contributions from the Rotary Club and Europrost company.
