According to a press release, the Gevgelija hospital also has new medical equipment and new nephrology, urology, and orthopedic units as well as fully renovated neurology and obstetrics units. The investment worth over EUR 375,000 euros confirms the government’s strong commitment to building an efficient health care system for the citizens, PM Zaev said.
