Healthcare capacity in Novi Pazar is being expanded through both personnel recruitment and infrastructure development. The General Hospital is set to strengthen its medical staff by the end of October with the return of three specialists from abroad, including a neurosurgeon, a surgeon, and an internist. This recruitment is part of a Serbian Ministry of Health initiative to encourage healthcare workers from the diaspora to return to the country.

Simultaneously, the construction of a new surgical block at the General Hospital has reached approximately 60 percent completion. The total investment for this facility is expected to exceed 85 million euros. The project is intended to provide advanced medical care and increased capacity for local residents and the surrounding region, reducing the need to travel to other cities for specialized treatment.
