Conference of the Balkan Association of Nurses
A conference of the Balkan Association of Nurses was held at the Belgrade City Assembly on 26 March.
The Balkan Association of Nurses is a voluntary, professional, non-governmental and non-profit organization that brings together nurses from the Balkans with the aim of promoting the nursing profession, as well as supporting the education of nurses. One of the most important goals of this Association is to improve the status of the nursing profession in Balkan countries.
The conference was attended by eminent representatives of the nursing profession from countries in the region, representatives of the governments of member states, as well as representatives from many other countries. The “Medika” College of Applied Health Sciences had its representatives at the conference and supported the idea of BAMS through its participation, as we believe that education, knowledge and professional development are key to the nursing profession.
Special attention at the conference was dedicated to improving the position of nurses within the healthcare system. In addition to presenting previous work in this field, the conference also focused on creating plans for future activities important for the profession.
It was stated at the conference that, even during the difficult times of the pandemic, nursing demonstrated its strength and unity.
Goran Mošić, President of the Balkan Association of Nurses, emphasized the importance of drawing attention to nurses and of raising the healthcare systems of all countries in the Balkan region to a higher level.
The conference was also attended by Assistant Professor Dr Predrag Sazdanović, State Secretary and representative of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia, who addressed the gathering.
Nurses and medical technicians, together with physicians, form a team, and without teamwork it is not possible to achieve the highest quality of healthcare.
