Turnaround in the healthcare crisis: Krk receives a multi-million investment in modern medicine
The fierce criticism of conditions at Krk’s health centre (Dom Zdravlja) has apparently had an effect. As has now become known, over €2 million is going into modernisation, new medical equipment and a new training centre. An important signal for the medical care of islanders and holidaymakers.
Only recently, a nurse’s desperate appeal made headlines, denouncing the lack of supplies and working equipment on Krk. Now there is positive news from Primorje-Gorski Kotar County: massive investments are set to remedy the shortcomings.
The planned investments in detail:
- New medical equipment: A large part of the sum will be invested in modernising diagnostics. This includes the long-awaited replacement of the X-ray machines (RTG) and other technical equipment whose failure recently caused major problems.
- New training centre: Part of the money will go towards setting up a training centre within the Dom Zdravlja. This should help train specialists better and make the health centre more attractive to medical staff.
- Infrastructure update: Besides equipment, the premises will also be invested in, to make working conditions for staff and the atmosphere for patients more “humane”.
Success through publicity?
It’s striking that this announcement came so soon after the public reports about the poor equipment. For the residents of Krk, it’s a glimmer of hope that basic medical care will finally reach the standard a tourist region of this size needs.
We at krk-info.eu will closely monitor the implementation of these promises and report back as soon as we’ve seen the new situation for ourselves.
