Their health and happy childhood are our priority and our commitment. Everything do for them is investment into future. That is known and felt by everyone at NIS. This donation is a joint decision and desire of employees and the Company. We know how difficult and responsible your job is. Every day you fight and win the most difficult battles. Therefore, I heartily wish that you walk out from the operating rooms happy and smiling every single time. After the greatest worry, that will be the greatest happiness in life for many. Therein lies our satisfaction and encouragement to still support those who need us the most”, said Kirill Tyurdenev, CEO of NIS. Radoje Simić, Director of the Institute, expressed his gratitude to NIS for the donation for the procurement of the equipment for the operating room in which 1,250 surgeries are performed annually. “With this donation of NIS, achieved by good will of the employees and the management, a good deed was done for the children of Serbia and the region. I am glad that a company like NIS recognized that this is a hospital to be invested in. Investments are also provided by the Ministry of Health, Health Fund and everyone else from state structures in the position to do so, but this is something that, I have to say, we see as the greatest gesture”, said Simić.
