FOR HEALTHY BODY AND HEALTHY SPIRIT

The Medical Center Vozdovac looks after the healthcare of the population of the fourth Belgrade Municipality in size, which, in addition to the central facility in Ustani~ka Street, has 16 separate branches, local health stations, and surgeries distributed in all the parts of the Municipality. Within the Center there are also an occupational medicine clinic and eight dentistry surgeries in elementary and secondary schools. The Center employs 151 doctors and, out of that number, 109 are specialists. To that number, 32 doctors dentists should also be added, among whom there are 18 specialists.

Vozdovac Medical Center, the foundations of which were laid in 1944, is one of the first medical centers in the territory of Belgrade. Today, it is the lecturing base of the School of Medicine and the Faculty of Dental Medicine and the reference institution of general medicine for medical centers in Serbia.

The Municipality of Vozdovac has financed, from its own funds, opening of two surgeries in the settlements of Kumodraz 1 and Kumodraz 2. The new surgery in the settlement of Kumodraz 1, opened in November 2014, enables prompt and efficient use of the services of the primary health care for which around eight thousand inhabitants of this settlement had waited for full 60 years.

To the satisfaction of numerous elderly inhabitants of the settlement of Kumodraz 2, after almost five years since the closing down of the old condemned building, a new surgery was opened on 18 May 2015. The intention of the Municipality is to provide to all the citizens the same living conditions, and therefore, special attention will be focused on the part at the foot of the Avala Mt., particularly when healthcare is in question. It has been planned to construct a regional medical center for the settlements at the foot of the Avala Mt., which will be located in Jajinci, and, therefore, the inhabitants of the villages at the foot of the Avala Mt. will no longer have to come to the Medical Center in Vozdovac for basic healthcare needs.
