Remarks by former President of Serbia and incumbent President of the National Council Tomislav Nikolić at the inauguration of the Niš Clinical Centre

The following are the remarks by former President of the Republic of Serbia and incumbent President of the National Council Tomislav Nikolić, at the inauguration of the Niš Clinical Centre, on 17 December 2017:

“Today I am filled with pride and happiness. I am proud of the Serbian Progressive Party members who persevere in building Serbia, proving that it is possible to help your country through daily and continuous work. I am also content that the Dragica Nikolić Foundation has assisted the Centre’s Cardiovascular and Transplant Surgery Clinic with more than RSD 15 000 000, by equipping an operation theatre at the Cardiosurgery Department.

I call upon everyone in Serbia to feel the joy of giving, and to do something for those in need, to the best of their ability. From today, the residents of the Pčinja, Jablanica, Toplica, Pirot and Niš Districts, as well as the inhabitants of Kosovo and Metohija, have an additional access to health and healthcare. A wise man once said that health outweighs all the other good things of life – a healthy beggar is happier than a sick king. May the President and the Government continue to carry out, for many years to come, their mission of restoring the nation’s health and of uprooting those evils, too, that not even this jewel in the crown of the Serbian health system is able to cure. Southern Serbia, happy breakthrough into the 21st century!
