In the presence of numerous dignitaries and media representatives, Prof. Dr. Šekib Umihanić, director of the University Clinical Center Tuzla, presented special awards and certificates of appreciation to donors and contractors who contributed to the successful completion of the reconstruction and adaptation project for the polyclinic section, including the Outpatient Clinic of the Clinic for Oncology and Radiotherapy, as well as the Clinic for Hematology and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
As a reminder, the project for the reconstruction and adaptation of the polyclinic section, including the Outpatient Clinic of the Clinic for Oncology and Radiotherapy and the Clinic for Hematology and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, was successfully realized thanks to the initiative of the Association of Oncology Patients with Breast Cancer.

In his address, Director Umihanić expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved, highlighting the importance of the project in improving healthcare for oncology patients.
“This project is not only significant for our institution, but it also represents new hope and joy for many oncology patients facing difficult challenges. Your support has enabled us to improve treatment conditions, create a more comforting environment for our patients, and enhance the quality of healthcare. I wish you continued success in your endeavors. Through your efforts and commitment, you have become our allies in this noble mission. Your support in this humanitarian effort goes beyond helping our institution—it directly impacts the lives of those confronting tough diagnoses, offering them renewed hope and strength. On behalf of our patients, their families, and all the employees at our clinical center, I sincerely thank you for your dedication and humanity,” said Prof. Dr. Šekib Umihanić, director of the University Clinical Center Tuzla.
Mrs. Murisa Bričić, president of the Gračanica “Nismo Same” Association, spoke on behalf of all women’s oncology associations at the recognition and thank you ceremony.
“I am honored to speak on behalf of six associations of women battling breast cancer and other cancers, to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed to the renovation of the Outpatient clinic, the Clinic for Oncology and Radiotherapy, and the Clinic for Hematology and Stem Cell Transplantation. Your efforts have ensured that oncology patients never feel ‘written off’ again. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in this project, and to the management of the Clinical Center Tuzla, especially director Dr. Umihanić, for not forgetting our initial efforts related to the Outpatient Clinic,” said Bričić.
In addition to the Association of Oncology Patients, special awards were presented to the Deling company, Fondacija tuzlanske zajdnice, and Mr. Mirza Mustafagić.
