Montenegro healthcare infrastructure and cooperation

Overview

Montenegro has undertaken several initiatives to improve its medical infrastructure and diagnostic capabilities. In late August 2026, Pljevlja General Hospital acquired new ultrasound technology valued at 54,692 euros to expand its range of examinations. In early September 2026, Montenegrin Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ervin Ibrahimović met with Turkish health officials to discuss expanding bilateral cooperation, including the potential establishment of a diagnostic center in Podgorica supported by USHAŞ.

Furthering diagnostic upgrades, Montenegrin Health Minister Vojislav Šimun met with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in mid-September 2026 to confirm two major projects: a PET/CT diagnostics project valued at nearly 1.9 million euros and a 1.6 million euro project for early breast cancer detection via four advanced digital mammography machines. On September 17, 2026, Minister Anđela Jakšić Stojanović confirmed that the PET/CT procurement would include specialized training for medical staff. Concurrently, the Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) announced a temporary 20-day service suspension for its gamma camera department to facilitate relocation to a reconstructed facility.

On September 28, 2026, the KCCG acquired a modern mobile digital mammography chair through cooperation with the IAEA. This equipment is intended to enhance diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine by allowing for more precise positioning during mammography, stereotaxy, and complex biopsy procedures. This upgrade is expected to enable complex biopsies, which were previously performed abroad, to be conducted locally.
