March 1, 2022

The clinic has a unique approach with free surgeries for the cardiovascular patients, for over 20 years. The successful cooperation with the Public health fund for the cardiac surgery patients, enables the patients to receive these top services for free.

The top services of the modern medicine, the results based on fast and accurate diagnosis, the disease prevention, the performing complex surgeries – are our mission for which we exist, always focused on the work, in order to increase and to expand the club of content patients.

In, the distant, year 2000, in a rented part of the Military Hospital in Skopje, the outlines of the special hospital for surgical diseases “Filip Vtori” were set-up. That was our baptism by fire, marked by the first bypass surgery in the Republic of Macedonia, led by academician D-r Zan Mitrev.

Today, the Zan Mitrev clinical hospital has a great reason to celebrate – the marking of its 22nd anniversary of existence. It is a true example of a vision made true, which was to provide a top medical service in accordance with the highest standards of a world class. From the very beginning, the clinic has set high standards and has opened new horizons in the Macedonian cardiovascular surgery. The surgery room, with which we started, with 12 hospital beds, has grown into a state-of-the-art medical center, with complete diagnostic procedures in most of the medical branches, supported by services of the modern surgery, anesthesia and intensive care.

The Zan Mitrev Clinical Hospital is located in a new, ultra-modern facility, an investment, 40 million euros worth, in which the main mission is to focus on the development of the hospital and achieving the highest possible quality of services. The clinic covers 17,000 square meters, it has several operating rooms at disposal, intensive care and semi-intensive care units. It is intentionally designed and built, according to its purpose and it meets the highest environmental standards, without any CO2 imprint. It is completely digitalized, the paper is almost never used in the everyday operation. The clinic continuously follows the latest trends and standards, in terms of improving of the operation processes and the safety of patients, from medical malpractice and from nosocomial infections. “A proof of the success is the fact that in 2020, even though in time of a pandemic, for the second time we have received an accreditation with a gold seal, from the “Joint Commission International”. Following the new technology in medicine, the clinic relays with the most contemporary medical devices, such as the lithotripsy urological laser, the state-of-the-art diagnostic devices for magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography imaging and for 3D tomosynthesis mammograph.

In this past period, the necessity for regional presence had also emerged. That is why in the last year, we opened two large diagnostic centers, under the brand of “Zan Mitrev Diagnostic”, first in Strumica, and then in Bitola. Namely, the previously existing polyclinics were completely refurbished, rebranded, with expanded capacities and number of activities. They are equipped with the most technologically advanced devices CT, MR, RTG, EHO. Detailed blood tests are performed in the biochemical laboratories. They also have a daily hospital for patient care, as well as ambulances. The purpose of opening such centers is to guarantee the level and the quality of our services locally and of course, to help the patients to feel better, safer and happier.

We are also proud of our new investment – the Center for aesthetic dermatology, which is a comprehensive medical and cosmetic – dermatological section, that offers a full range of medical and surgical care, as well as aesthetic improvement, – says the head of the Clinic, academician D-r Zan Mitrev.

The Zan Mitrev clinical hospital continuously invests in permanent upgrading and education of its employees, creating top staff ready to face all challenges.

“Following the new technology in the medicine and working with the latest medical devices, we are creating our staff here, which is a very long-term investment on which our excellent results are actually based. Realistically, we have doctors who are far more prepared and with much higher professional performance than many doctors in Germany” – says academician D-r Zan Mitrev.

Among the first in Europe, the Zan Mitrev clinical hospital has set up a genetic laboratory and brought together various genetic tests in routine daily practice. In out laboratory we test the most common 33 pathogenic bacteria and viruses upon the patients` admission in hospital, including the COVID SARS tests. The combination of the individual approach with pharmacogenetics i. e. tolerance / intolerance to certain drugs, was the beginning of the application of personalized medicine, specific to each individual patient, thus preventing any eventual fatal consequences for patients. The Zan Mitrev clinical hospital was the first to start with the application of blood purification or the so-called haemofiltration, which is now being also implemented in patients who are struggling with severe consequences caused by the corona virus.

What makes this clinic special is the unique approach with free surgeries for patients for heart and blood vessels` diseases for more than 20 years. The successful cooperation with the public healthcare fund, for the cardiac surgery cases, provides the patients an ability to get these services for free.

“I think that even after so many years, the people know very little, what do we actually have here in terms of health conditions and standards. I have established a daily work routine and treatment of the most seriously ill, with the highest standards applied. I managed to make these services to be covered by the Public health insurance fund, so the patients to be treated without having to pay additionally. Although only in the area of cardiac surgery, this is still an example, i. e. shows the size of the development potential of the health care, if the functioning conditions undergo change” – explains academician D-r Mitrev.

The Zan Mitrev clinical hospital is a classic example of achieving a vision, a concept that has been painstakingly made true and is an example for many young people that great things can be done, as well, here, at home. In fact, a unique connection has been made between the medicine and business. On one hand, to provide a top medical service in accordance with the highest established standards in the world, to make it accessible to any patient, but at the same time to provide an economic profitability.

For more than two decades, the patients in our country are receiving top medical services in accordance with the highest world standards.
