The document discusses cooperation between southeast Europe, specifically a partnership between Hamburg and Belgrade for medical education and training exchanges. Key points: - Students and doctors from Belgrade will travel to Hamburg, and vice versa, for 4-week clinical training programs. - Belgrade will host summer schools in endocrinology and immunology, funded by European medical societies, attracting over 120 and 42 participants respectively. - Establishing cooperation between medical institutions can help standardize medical education, improve quality of healthcare, and facilitate research collaboration and specialization training across countries.

11. Work Task of the Science Council
The Science Council advises the Federal Government of
Germany and the governments of the states in matters
of content and structural development of higher
education, science and research.

12. Foundation of one med. chamber/association
One political independent voice to take care of:
• The interests of med doctors
• The interests of med students, your future doctors!
• The standardization of med science education
• The interest of excellent health service for the patients in the country
• The standardization in med quality and evaluation
• Publishing together with the med science societies the international
guidelines (state of the art) for treating the patients in widespread diseases
(e.g. Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer)
• Establishing an office for complaints of patients and a procedure for
management of complaints (Ombudsman)
• Organize and supervise specialization of med doctors together with the
Serbian Med Soc together with other European Soc
• Organize and supervise CME together with Serbian, Regional & other
Europ Soc
• Start re-evaluation of med doctors’ quality
• Organize PhD-Studies and med qualification in Twinning Procedures
• Develop Information Technology & open education

20. The challenges presented by the inherited
system can be summarized as f ollows:
• Specialty oriented health system
• Little or no strategic planning
• Poor distribution of human resources with too many staff at hospital level
and in urban areas and an under provision in rural areas
• Lack of adequately trained human resources compared with European
standards
• Lack of health management skills
• Unregulated private health sector
• Over prescribing and uncontrolled private pharmacies
• Poor facilities, equipment, and infrastructure at the three levels of care
provision
• No referral system and gate keeping, resulting in excessive demand on
hospital services
• Lack of access for minority groups to the full range of available health
services
