Skopje, 25 June 2025 (MIA) -- An investment of over 200 million euros will be made into improving public health care through the government to government partnership that provides access to UK public and private expertise and financial support, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said Wednesday in response to reporters' questions in front of the Children's Diseases Clinic in Skopje.
Mickoski said the actual amount to be invested was yet to be determined as "the procedure needs to start first, just as it started for the railway."
"The Ministry of Health needs to request that the Ministry of Finance begin, figuratively speaking, a tender call for financial institutions and banks to express their readiness and interest to finance the project. We, of course, will accept the best conditions offered to us," Mickoski said.
He said the state intended to complete the Shtip hospital, to build a new medical school together with a 200-bed dorm, to build a new hospital including an outpatient clinic in Kichevo and to fully reconstruct the Tetovo hospital.
The prime minister also said there were "free funds to also enter the second phase, which is the great and long-promised Skopje clinical center."
Mickoski attended Wednesday a presentation of 11 projects done over in the past 11 months at the Children's Diseases Clinic. mr/
