The ward covers roughly 600 square metres and was formally opened by Minister of Health Sasho Klekovski on the occasion of World Mental Health Day.
New budget line for ongoing repairs
According to the minister, an agreement with the hospital foresees that the institution’s core budget will include funds earmarked for continuous reconstruction work. The move is intended to address long-standing shortcomings in psychiatric facilities.
