The Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS) is ready to receive treatment for sick and wounded residents of Palestine, who are exposed to aggression against their country in the Gaza Strip.
At the invitation of relevant cantonal and federal ministries, and through the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, KCUS stated that they have the capacity and are ready to accept patients from Gaza of all ages, including the pediatric population.
The Acting General Director of KCUS Hajrija Maksić said at the press conference that they currently do not have information on the type and severity of injuries, but that upon admission, patients will be triaged, diagnosed and, depending on the type of injury or disease, hospitalized at the appropriate clinic.
“Our doctors, medical and non-medical personnel will work with the wounded from Gaza, and the formation of teams is already underway. Our employees have experience with war injuries. Regarding the acceptance of patients, it is our human and professional obligation. At this moment, we in Bosnia and Herzegovina sympathize with the people of Palestine more than others, because we know that a large number of our wounded, fellow citizens survived thanks to the help of other countries, and this additionally obliges us to accept the sick and wounded from Gaza,” said Maksić.
She added that the number of patients and the type of injuries will be reported to the public after their admission.
Acting Director of the Discipline for Science and Teaching, Sanko Pandur, said that they are aware of the experience they have and their moral obligation to help the people of Palestine.
“We extend a wide welcome to the wounded and sick, who will come from Gaza for treatment in our facilities. This will require not only medical but also broad social action, in order to do it in the right way, which is our human, professional and moral obligation,” said Pandur.
KCUS noted that they will provide services to their patients without interruption and that the admission of patients from Gaza will not affect the treatment and provision of services to patients, Fena writes.
