The Prime Minister of the Zenica-Doboj Canton, Nezir Pivić, and the Minister of Health, Aida Salčinović, held a meeting today with the representatives of the Trade Union of the Institute of Occupational Medicine and Sports Medicine of the Zenica-Doboj Canton, headed by the president, Sedina Omeragić. The meeting was also attended by the president of the Independent Professional Union of Doctors of Medicine and Dentistry ZDK Elvis Cikotić.
The current situation in the Institute was discussed, with special emphasis on long-term financial problems, which are the result of bad management of this institution.
Therefore, the focus of the conversation was on business reorganization modalities, cost structure analysis and planning of next steps with the aim of strengthening this institution.
– The Government of Zenica-Doboj Canton fulfills all its obligations towards the Institute, including the procurement of medical equipment as a form of support for its work. The Government’s intention is to continue providing support in every sense, in order to consolidate the business of the Institute and create conditions for its self-sustainability – said Prime Minister Pivić.
The president of the union, Sedina Omeragić, said that they were satisfied with the outcome of today’s meeting.
– I am pleased with the messages from the meeting and that the Prime Minister and the Government are looking for a long-term solution for our institution. We agree that the Institute should remain as an organizational unit, and that the employees retain the status of full-time employees – said Omeragić.
All parties agreed that there is a common interest in solving the accumulated problems, and that continuous communication is necessary – both between the union and the founders, and between the union and the institution’s management.
