Black man: We floated out of the red numbers
Crnjac addressed the board of the institution for the last time. In the presentation of the operation of UKC Maribor during the two years of its management, he emphasized that it is clinical center during this time floated out of the red numbers. The assessment of the institution’s operations in the first seven months of this year shows an excess of revenues over expenses in the amount of a good two million euros, which, according to him, is the best business result of this institution in the last 15 years. “I’m leaving the hospital in great shape,” he said and expressed the hope that this will continue under the new leadership.
He also presented investments in the infrastructure of UKC Maribor to the members of the institution’s council. He explained that, among other things, they started upgrading the oncology department, moved the lung department from Pohorje to the parent institution, and built fire elevators in the surgical tower.
A new infectious disease clinic
The next major project is the construction of a new infectious disease clinic, where, according to Crnjac, the department will soon be moved to a temporary location and the demolition of the old building will begin. He emphasized that they are in clinical center prepared all the necessary documentation for this project on time. “The accusations that UKC Maribor was late with some projects are absolutely not true,” he repeated.
He explained that they had received a confirmation from the state level that the project would continue despite the change, according to which the ministry would have given state funds for this purpose instead of European funds. At a recent correspondence meeting, the council of the institution also gave its consent to the demolition of the old building and instructed the administration to speed up activities on this project.
The public procurement process is underway for the nursing hospital, which will be arranged in the former building of the lung department. Two bids were received for the tender, but now the review process is underway in UKC they are waiting its unfolding.
The plan for setting up a container hospital with up to 50 beds, which would be used during epidemics or for the needs of individual departments during new construction, is also still current. Crnjac said that in this case too, two offers arrived and they are waiting to the selection decision.
