Thus, NIS is to facilitate the reconstruction and remodelling of children outpatient health care units, procurement of modern medical equipment and apparatus, as well as ambulance vehicles for a whole lot of health care institutions in partner municipalities and towns. The outcome of the competition and the projects to be delivered are posted on a website at the address: zajednicizajedno.nis.eu, as well as on local municipalities’ websites.
