SARAJEVO, February 1 (FENA) – The government of Japan has granted about 42,400 KM (21,678 euros) for “The Project for Equipping Health Care Center Stari Grad in Sarajevo with Medical Equipment” and about 57,100 KM (29,207 euros) for “The Project for Equipping Health Care Center Srebrenik with an Ambulance Vehicle”.

On this occasion, the Ambassador of Japan to BiH Kazuya Ogawa today signed the Grant Contracts with Director of Health Care Center Stari Grad in Sarajevo, Samira Ahmetović, and Director of Health Care Center Srebrenik Ibrahim Zukić.

Ambassador Ogawa explained that the projects include the purchase of an ultrasound machine for the Health Care Center Stari Grad in Sarajevo, which will provide safe medical screenings for the local population.

The purchase of the ambulance vehicle for the Health Care Center Srebrenik will ensure a better service for the patients.

“I hope that the implementation of these two projects will improve the system of primary health care in BiH and I expect that the new ultrasound machine and ambulance vehicle will be adequately maintained over many years,” said Ambassador Ogawa.

The Government of Japan, the Ambassador recalled, attaches great importance to the development of health sector in BiH, and as of 1996 has donated around 160 million KM for the improvement of the quality of healthcare in the country.

As a reminder, Japan is one of the largest bilateral donors in BiH. Under various schemes (i.e. General Grant Aid, Loan Aid, Technical Cooperation and Cultural Grant Aid), the Japan’s assistance to BiH reached around 1 billion KM during the past 20 years, covering vital sectors such as primary health care, education, demining, water supply, agriculture, environment protection, infrastructure, culture etc.

Japan will continue to support BiH, with the aim to contribute to socio-economic development in these key areas.
