UK Registered Charity No. 1088214 The Medicus (British Yugoslav Medical Association) aims to contribute to efforts to advance provision of health care, of medical training and medical science in Yugoslavia. It strives to assist with the establishment of links between institutions in the UK and Yugoslavia and offers its advisory services to any agencies or institutions which may wish to help Yugoslavia to rebuild its medical schools, specialist training programmes, and health service in general. The ultimate goal of the Medicus is to help with efforts to close the gap between medical practice in Yugoslavia and the rest of Europe that has resulted from ten years of civil wars, all in the hope that this will help reintegrate Yugoslavia as a fully democratic country in the heart of Europe. As a result of
maladministration, wars and sanctions, Yugoslavia has been devastated over
the last ten years. With its ruined economy, huge numbers of refugees, and
massive emigration leading to the loss of essential skills, the health
services have suffered particularly badly. Collect surplus publications and journals, or purchase them, in this country and donate them to libraries in departments, hospitals, and medical education establishments in Yugoslavia. Subscribe to journals and providers of information technology for use in Yugoslavia. 3. To facilitate the exchange of doctors and other health professionals between Great Britain and Yugoslavia in order to promote the exchange of knowledge, techniques and information. Establish and provide bursaries/grants for doctors and other associated professionals from Yugoslavia to visit centres in Great Britain. Provide bursaries/grants for doctors and other associated professionals from Great Britain to visit Yugoslavia in order to assist colleagues with their work, including training, running courses and holding seminars. 4.

related to the provision of aid to hospitals, medical, scientific and
