"The Government strongly supports strengthening of our health system in every sense. Exactly yesterday, at the Cabinet session we established a new budget, with EUR 281 million allocated for health. It is the largest health budget ever in Montenegro. It has been increased by EUR 50 million over the previous year and by a total of EUR 85 million it is increased over the last three years, since the beginning of the term of this Government. This is a confirmation that the Ministry of Health, the Government and the Clinical Centre together will, as a carrier of the Montenegro’s health potential in the coming period, do everything to provide our citizens with the highest quality health service. Today, I am specially looking forward to providing this level, the European level of health care service, in the new unit for our youngest population," the Prime Minister stated after he, together with the United Stated Ambassador to Montenegro Judy Rising Reinke and Director of the Clinical Centre of Montenegro Jevto Eraković officially opened the renovated Intensive Care Unit of the Clinic for Children's Diseases of the Clinical Centre of Montenegro (KCCG).
