Kamenica 2 will have up-to-date medical equipment, which will put it in the class of the most modern health centers in this part of Europe. Preconditions will be created for heart transplantation, and it will also be one of the most modern centers for lung cancer treatment in southeast Europe. This project will provide much better conditions for treatment of our patients and, what is the most important, it will save hundreds of thousands of lives in the years to come - said Bojan Pajtic, the Prime Minister of Vojvodina, who visited Kamenica 2 on Friday.
