U Žepču je predstavljen projekt prekogranične suradnje pod nazivom „HEARTS – Healthcare Equity and Access for Resilient Targeted Support“ kojeg je pripremila Razvojna agencija Vukovarsko-srijemske županije, a koji je 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 Hrvatske, BiH i Crne Gore, a u fokusu je poboljšanje uvjeta za socijalizaciju i rad s djecom s poteškoćama u razvoju.
Djelatnici Razvojne agencije Vukovarsko-srijemske županije sudjelovali su na prvoj kick off konferenciji u Žepču koju je organizirala Razvojna agencija Žepče. Na konferenciji su sudjelovali i predstavnici ostalih partnerskih organizacija, odnosno Centar za pružanje usluga u zajednici Vukovarsko srijemske županije, Udruženje roditelja djece s poteškoćama u razvoju Podgorica i JU Dom zdravlja sa stacionarom Žepče.
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 nabavu opreme u cilju boljih uvjeta rada stručnih osoba koje skrbe za djecu i mlade s poteškoćama u razvoju. Jedna od značajki projekta je uspostava mobilnih timova stručnih osoba koje će u prostorima centra ili područnim ambulantama raditi s djecom, ali i roditeljima na prepoznavanju problema kod djece koja imaju razvojne teškoće.
Jedan od problema s kojima se susreću sve zdravstvene ustanove je pasivnost roditelja kao i nepriznavanje problema koje ima njegovo dijete. Projektom se nastoji 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 će omogućiti pružanje kvalitetnijih usluga prema djeci s poteškoćama u razvoju, kroz opremanje Centra za ranu intervenciju, a planirana je nabava vozila za mobilne timove, Neurofeedbacka, digitalnog logopedskog seta, opreme za senzornu sobu, play attention programa i nabavu informatičke opreme za stručno osoblje koje će raditi s djecom. Osim nabave opreme i uspostave mobilnih timova, kroz projekt će se dodatno zaposliti i 13 stručnih djelatnika za rad s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju i njihovim roditeljima
Projekt je odobren za financiranje u okviru programa prekogranične suradnje INTERREG VI-A IPA Hrvatska-Bosna i Hercegovina-Crna Gora 2021. – 2027. Trajanje projekta je 30 mjeseci, a ukupan proračun za sve projektne partnere iznosi 1.716.255,00 €, od čega EU financira 85 % dok 15 % sufinanciraju partneri na projektu.

HEARTS IN ŽEPČE
The cross-border cooperation project titled “HEARTS – Healthcare Equity and Access for Resilient Targeted Support” was presented in Žepče. The project was prepared by the Development Agency of Vukovar-Srijem County and is financed under the INTERREG VI-A IPA Croatia-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Montenegro 2021-2027 program.
This project ensures equal access to healthcare services for all vulnerable groups in the cross-border area. The project is led by five institutions from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, with a focus on improving conditions for socialization and working with children with developmental disabilities.
Development Agency of Vukovar-Srijem County employees participated in the first kick-off conference in Žepče, organized by the Development Agency of Žepče. The conference was also attended by representatives of other partner organizations, namely the Center for Community Service Provision of Vukovar-Srijem County, the Association of Parents of Children with Developmental Disabilities in Podgorica, and the Public Health Institution of Žepče with a hospital.
During the conference, issues related to healthcare for children with developmental disabilities in the project area were discussed, as well as examples of good practices that, although still rare, should be welcomed and efforts made to “transfer” them to other project areas.
The project activities include the equipping of spaces and the procurement of equipment to improve the working conditions of professionals caring for children and young people with developmental disabilities. One of the key features of the project is the establishment of mobile teams of professionals who will work with children and parents in the center’s premises or local health clinics to identify issues in children with developmental difficulties.
One of the problems faced by all healthcare institutions is the passivity of parents and the failure to recognize the issues their children may have. The project aims to more actively educate the entire local community, particularly parents, to recognize problems early so that it is not too late for intervention when the child starts school.
The planned equipment will enable the provision of higher-quality services to children with developmental disabilities by equipping the Early Intervention Center. The project also plans to acquire vehicles for mobile teams, neurofeedback equipment, a digital speech therapy set, sensory room equipment, a play attention program, and IT equipment for professionals working with children. In addition to the procurement of equipment and the establishment of mobile teams, the project will create 13 new professional positions for working with children with developmental disabilities and their parents.
The project has been approved for financing under the cross-border cooperation program INTERREG VI-A IPA Croatia-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Montenegro 2021-2027. The project duration is 30 months, and the total budget for all project partners amounts to EUR 1,716,255.00, with the EU funding 85% and the remaining 15% co-financed by the project partners.
