U Žepču je predstavljen projekt prekogranične suradnje pod nazivom „HEARTS – Healthcare Equity and Access for Resilient Targeted Support“ financiran u sklopu INTERREG VI-A IPA Hrvatska-Bosna i Hercegovina-Crna Gora 2021. – 2027. Radi se o projektu koji osigurava jednak pristup zdravstvenim uslugama za sve ranjive skupine u prekograničnom prostoru. Nositelji projekta su pet institucija iz BiH, Hrvatske i Crne Gore, a u fokusu je poboljšanje uvjeta za socijalizaciju i rad s djecom s poteškoćama u razvoju. Vrijednost projekta je 1,7 milijuna eura i provodit će se slijedećih 30 mjeseci.
Razvojna agencija Žepče, jedan od partnera na projektu, bila je domaćin prve kick off konferencije kojoj su nazočili predstavnici partnerskih organizacija Centar za pružanje usluga u zajednici Vukovarsko srijemske županije, Razvojna agencija Vukovarsko srijemske županije, Udruženje roditelja djece s poteškoćama u razvoju Podgorica, JU Dom zdravlja sa stacionarom Žepče, predstavnici općinske uprave na čelu sa općinskim načelnikom Matom Zovko, ministrica zdravstva u zeničko-dobojskoj županiji Aida Salčinović sa suradnicima, predstavnici osnovnih škola i predškolskih ustanova, Centra za djecu i odrasle s posebnim potrebama kao i predstavnici nevladinih organizacija koje skrbe za djecu i omladinu s posebnim potrebama iz Žepča, Zavidovića i Zenice. Tijekom konferencije govorilo se o problemima u zdravstvenoj skrbi djece s poteškoćama u razvoju u projektnom području kao i primjerima dobre prakse koji su još uvijek rijetki ali ih treba pozdraviti i nastojati „prenijeti“ u ostala projektna područja.
Aktivnosti projekta obuhvaćaju opremanje prostora i nabavku opreme u cilju boljih uvjeta rada stručnih osoba koje skrbe za djecu i mlade s poteškoćama u razvoju. Jedna od značajki projekta jeste formiranje mobilnih timova stručnih osoba koje će u područnim ambulantama raditi s djecom ali i roditeljima u prepoznavanju problema kod djece koja imaju poteškoće u razvoju.
Jedan od problema sa kojima se susreću sve zdravstvene ustanove jeste pasivnost roditelja kao i nepriznavanje problema koje ima njegovo dijete. Projektom će se nastojati aktivnije educirati cijela lokalna zajednica, a posebno roditelji da što ranije prepoznaju problem kako ne bi bilo kasno za intervenciju kada dijete već krene u školu.
Planirana oprema za žepački Dom zdravlja sa stacionarom omogućiti će pružanje kvalitetnijih usluga prema djeci sa poteškoćama u razvoju, kroz opremanje Centra za ranu intervenciju a planirana je nabavka Neurofeedbacka, digitalnog logopedskog seta, opreme za senzornu sobu, play attention programa i nabavku informatičke opreme za stručno osoblje koje će raditi s djecom. Pored postojećeg osoblja zaposliti će se još jedan psiholog i logoped koji će raditi s djecom i na terenu, odnosno u područnim ambulantama u Ozimici, Begov Hanu i Željeznom Polju.
Prema riječima ravnateljice dr. Tanje Radoš Kosić planirane aktivnosti bi trebale dovesti do poboljšanja zdravstvene skrbi za djecu u tim područjima. „To je važno jer će im na taj način biti omogućen pravovremeni pristup potrebnoj medicinskoj njezi“, zaključila je Radoš Kosić. Direktorica Razvojne agencije Žepče Branka Janko smatra da ovakav pristup pridonosi smanjenju zdravstvenih nejednakosti i poboljšanju kvalitete života lokalne zajednice. „Treba svakako pratiti provedbu i učinke ovih aktivnosti te utvrditi jesu li one dovoljne za adekvatno zbrinjavanje zdravstvenih potreba djece u ruralnim krajevima“ kazala je Janko. Općinski načelnik Mato Zovko izrazio je zadovoljstvo novim projektom prekogranične suradnje koji se provodi u općini Žepče i jedan je od ukupno pet EU projekata u kojima je sudjelovala Općina Žepče i Razvojna agencija Žepče. „Provedba aktivnosti koje poboljšavaju pristup i kvalitetu zdravstvene skrbi za djecu u ruralnim područjima svakako zaslužuje ponos i priznanje“, zaključio je Zovko.

The project “HEARTS – Healthcare Equity and Access for Resilient Targeted Support” was presented in Žepče
In Žepče, a cross-border cooperation project entitled “HEARTS – Healthcare Equity and Access for Resilient Targeted Support” was presented, financed as part of the INTERREG VI-A IPA Croatia-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Montenegro 2021-2027. It is a project that ensures equal access health services for all vulnerable groups in the cross-border area. The project holders are five institutions from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro, and the focus is on improving the conditions for socialization and work with children with developmental disabilities. The value of the project is 1.7 million euros and will be implemented for the next 30 months.
The Development Agency Žepče, one of the project partners, hosted the first kick-off conference, which was attended by representatives of the partner organizations: the Vukovar-Srijem County Community Service Center, the Vukovar-Srijem County Development Agency, NGO “Association of Parents of Children with Developmental Disabilities Podgorica, the Public institution “Medical centre and the infirmary” Žepče, representatives of the municipal administration led by the municipal mayor Mato Zovko, the Minister of Health in the Zenica-Doboj County Aida Salčinović with her associates, representatives of elementary schools and preschool institutions, the Center for Children and Adults with Special Needs, as well as representatives of non-governmental organizations that care for children and youth with developmental disabilities from Žepče, Zavidovići and Zenica. During the conference, the problems in healthcare for children with developmental disabilities in the project area were discussed, as well as examples of good practice that are still rare but should be welcomed and efforts should be made to “transfer” them in other project areas.
Project activities include furnishing premises and purchasing equipment to improve working conditions for professionals who care for children and youth with developmental disabilities. One of the features of the project is the formation of mobile teams of experts who will work with children and parents in regional clinics to identify problems with children who have developmental difficulties.
One of the problems faced by all healthcare institutions is the passivity of parents as well as the failure to recognize the problems their child has. The project will try to actively educate the entire local community, especially parents, to recognize the problem as early as possible so that it is not too late to intervene when the child starts school.
The planned equipment for the Public institution “Medical centre and the infirmary” Žepče will enable the provision of better services for children with developmental difficulties, through the equipping of the Early Intervention Center, and the planned acquisition of Neurofeedback, a digital speech therapy set, equipment for the sensory room, play attention program and the acquisition of IT equipment for professional staff who will work with children. In addition to the existing staff, another psychologist and speech therapist will be employed who will work with children in the field, that is, in regional clinics in Ozimica, Begov Han and Željezno Polje.
According to the director dr. Tanja Radoš Kosić said that the planned activities should lead to improved healthcare for children in these areas. “This is important because it will enable them to have timely access to the necessary medical care,” concluded Radoš Kosić. Branka Janko, Director of the Development Agency Žepče, believes that this approach contributes to reducing health inequalities and improving the quality of life of the local community. “We should definitely monitor the implementation and effects of these activities and determine whether they are sufficient to adequately meet the health needs of children in rural areas,” said Janko. Municipal Mayor Mato Zovko expressed his satisfaction with the new cross-border cooperation project implemented in the municipality of Žepče and is one of a total of five EU projects in which the Municipality of Žepče and the Development Agency Žepče participated. “Implementation of activities that improve access to and quality of healthcare for children in rural areas certainly deserves pride and recognition”, concluded Zovko.
