The future blood bank is partly financed from the EU funds.
Split Hospital Director, Dr Julije Meštrović, said that the regional transfusion centre would certainly improve the health standard of patients.
The project is being financed through the ITU mechanism of Split’s urban agglomeration with the specific objective of renewing brownfield areas. The EU has set aside more than HRK 31 million for the project. Croatia’s Health Ministry has ensured HRK 22 million to equip the building and Split-Dalmatia County will also participate in financing the project.
The plans for this new centre were initiated ten years ago, the head of Split’s transfusion centre, Dr Slavica Dajak said.
