The Zan Mitrev clinic insists that it will continue performing cardio surgeries on children as planned, despite the fact that doctor Vladimir Cadikovski and his team left the clinic.

Cadikovski joined Mitrev’s team only a few months ago, leaving the state run Pediatric Clinic, citing differences in their approach. Cadikovski is the only licensed pediatric heart surgeon in Macedonia, and he has worked at the Pediatric Clinic for 20 years. This transfer was part of the arrangement to move such surgeries from the state healthcare to Zan Mitrev’s clinic.

Mitrev’s clinic informed that they are still going ahead with 20 planned surgeries and that they are determined to uphold the agreement with the Ministry.
