Description
Occupational Health Service (OHS) in Serbia has a special place in every respect; due to the period of transition, OHS, which is dominantly performed by occupational medicine specialists, is facing with a period of adaptation to new circumstances- both in terms of the development of capitalism (after a long socialist approach to work and workers), and in terms of work in institutions for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Occupational medicine specialists are in most cases also general
practitioners but they must work check-ups of employees too (according to a contract with companies). In 2020, they have been maximally involved in working with COVID-19 patients at all levels; from COVID-19 ambulances in the competent Health Centers to work in COVID-19 hospitals. Specifically, occupational medicine specialists and doctors of other specialties who work at Serbian Institute of Occupational Health were involved in infectologies for 9 months at their own institution,
which was also COVID-19 institution. At this moment, the perspective of occupational health in Serbia mostly depends on the position of the competent institutions, primarily the Ministry of Health.
