The Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and the Minister of Health, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vili Beroš, M.D., attended the ceremonial opening of the reconstructed maternity ward at the General Hospital Virovitica, marking a significant advancement in the improvement of healthcare services in Northern Slavonia.

The project "Reconstruction and adaptation of the 2nd floor of Building D of the General Hospital Virovitica - Maternity Ward" includes works worth over 1.3 million euros. This investment not only improves the physical conditions within the hospital but also represents a strong step towards modernizing the healthcare system in the Virovitica-Podravina County, which is facing a continuous decline in birth rates and an increase in perinatal complications in recent decades.

Increased availability and quality of care
Thanks to this renovation, the maternity ward now provides significantly better conditions for mothers and newborns, ensuring greater availability of high-quality healthcare for more than 75,000 residents of the region. This project ensures that women from more remote parts of the county have access to modern healthcare services without the need for long journeys to larger centers, thereby directly contributing to a reduction in perinatal care risks.

Investments in infrastructure and human resources
Minister of Health Vili Beroš emphasized that the reconstruction of the maternity ward is part of a broader strategy that includes investments not only in infrastructure but also in the education and specialization of medical personnel. Special emphasis has been placed on continuous staff training, including specialist training for which 13.2 million euros have been secured. The General Hospital Virovitica currently employs 42 residents, with additional plans to train nurses and technicians to maintain a high level of service across all levels of healthcare.

Broader picture of healthcare reform
This project is part of a broader healthcare system reform in Croatia, which also includes other projects such as the reconstruction of the Virovitica-Pitomača railway line, thus contributing to better regional connectivity and improved access to healthcare services. Minister Beroš highlighted the importance of synergy between the local community and state institutions in achieving reform goals and emphasized that only through such systematic investments can long-term sustainability and quality of the healthcare system be ensured for the benefit of all citizens.

In conclusion, the reconstruction of the maternity ward in Virovitica represents not only an infrastructural advancement but also a symbol of commitment to providing quality healthcare to everyone, with a special focus on vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and newborns. This project is an example of how an integrated investment strategy in infrastructure and human resources can have long-term positive effects on the entire community.

Political desk

The political desk shapes its content with the belief that responsible writing and a solid understanding of social processes hold essential value in the public sphere. For years, we have been analyzing political events, monitoring changes that affect citizens, and reflecting on the relationships between institutions, individuals, and the international community. Our approach is based on experience gained through long-term work in journalism and direct observation of political scenes in different countries and systems.

In our editorial work, we emphasize context, because we know that politics is never just the news of the day. Behind every move, statement, or decision are circumstances that define its true significance, and our task is to bring readers closer to the background and intentions that are not visible at first glance. In our articles, we strive to build a vivid picture of society – its tensions, ambitions, problems, and those moments when opportunities for change arise.

Over the years, we have learned that political reporting is not reduced to retelling conferences and press releases. It requires patience, observation, and a willingness to compare various sources, assess credibility, recognize patterns of behavior, and find meaning in actions that sometimes seem contradictory. To achieve this, we rely on experience gained through long-term work with public institutions, civil society organizations, analysts, and individuals who shape political reality through their activities.

Our writing stems from personal fieldwork: from conventions, protests, parliamentary sessions, international forums, and conversations with people who experience politics from within. These encounters shape texts in which we strive to be clear, precise, and fair, without dramatizing and without deviating from facts. We want the reader to feel informed, not overwhelmed, and to receive a picture that enables them to independently assess what a given decision means for their everyday life.

The political desk believes in the importance of open and responsible journalism. In a world full of quick reactions and sensationalism, we choose diligent, long-term work on texts that offer a broader perspective. It is a slower path, but the only one that ensures content that is thorough, credible, and in the service of the reader. Our approach has grown from decades of experience and the conviction that an informed citizen is the strongest guardian of democratic processes.

That is why our publications do not merely follow the daily news cycle. They seek to understand what political events truly mean, where they lead, and how they fit into the broader picture of international relations. We write with respect for the reader and with the awareness that politics is not an isolated field, but a space where economy, culture, identity, security, and the individual life of each person intersect.
