Physicians of the Clinic of Cardiovascular Diseases have established the Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery Consulting Body which will greatly facilitate course of treatment to our patients.   

 It is a joint expert consulting body comprised of physicians of the Clinic of Cardiovascular Diseases of the UH CC BL and cardiac surgeons from the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases “Dedinje”. Cooperation is enabled via video-link. Accordingly, experts in this field jointly discuss medical documentation and make decision on further course of treatment and possible sending of patients to other health care institutions in order for them to undergo surgical procedures that are not performed in the University Hospital Clinical Centre Banja Luka. Up to now, our patients were forced to travel to other centres in order for them to obtain expert opinions. These facts additionally indicate a significance of establishing the Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery consulting body. Accordingly, we will reduce costs of treatment and speed up process of diagnostics and further course of treatment.

During the first video conference of the Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery Consulting Bodywhich was organized on March 18th, 2015, the decision regarding three patients was made. During the second video conference, a decision in relation to five patients was made. This is just one among a range of activities carried out by the University Hospital Clinical Centre Banja Luka with the aim of education of personnel and improvement of health care of patients. The most important aspect is that accordingly we create conditions for future performing of cardiac surgeries in the University Hospital Clinical Centre Banja Luka which should become practice after the reconstruction of our institution.
