Belgrade, 22nd March 2020 - Returning Point programme, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Serbia’s diplomatic missions and consulates, and with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), herewith issues an open call to medical workers abroad who are currently not professionally engaged to report if they are available and willing, should the situation require it, to temporarily return and help fight the Corona virus epidemic in Serbia through their expertise, experience and skills.

Due to the increasing pressure on the health care system, wishing to prepare in a timely manner and to support the struggle for preserving the lives and health of the citizens of Serbia, we invite all the health workers, doctors, nurses, medical technicians and other health experts abroad, who are currently not professionally engaged, to submit information on their availability and specifically on their professional expertise and experience.

This information will be used for the purpose of compiling a record of the capacity available, establishing cooperation and possible volunteer-type engagement for the purpose of providing assistance to the most vulnerable citizens as soon as humanly possible.
