Cuprija – Provision of palliative care to terminally ill patients according to European standards

An unusual space in a hospital building 150km south of Belgrade. The walls are a gentle shade of pink, spotlessly clean corridors, a nice atmosphere. At the end of a long hall way on the right there is a space for a future living room and a modern kitchen. All patient rooms have two beds and a bathroom. Kind and caring medical staff dedicated to seriously ill patients. This is the image of the Department of Palliative Care in the General Hospital in Cuprija. This Department was renovated six months ago with the financial support of the Ministry of Health. Equipment for the units was purchased through the project “Development of Palliative Care Services in Serbia,” funded by the European Union (EU), and employees were trained and gained new knowledge and skills to deal with palliative care patients.

Palliative Care: This is not a ward for dying people

One doctor and seven nurses have been taking special care of patients suffering from terminal illnesses in the area of Cacak in the last six months. In the Palliative Care Unit at the General Hospital in Cacak, Dr. Danka Dragicevic and her colleagues have dedicated themselves to the patients and their families 24 hours a day. There are no specified visiting hours in the Unit, visitors can come at any time and stay as long as they wish. Doors depicting open arms and butterflies are always open to family members to visit their loved ones who receive around the clock care. While in Serbia palliative care has been developing for over a decade, the major progress in this field was achieved in the last three years with the financial support of the European Union (EU) through the project “Development of Palliative Care in Serbia”, financially and strategically supported by the Ministry of Health.
