This year, when Vrnja\u010dka Banja Spa is celebrating its 150th<\/sup> anniversary of tourism, \u201cMerkur\u201d (\u201cMercury\u201d) Special Hospital has initiated the construction of the Merkur Palace building. The new hotel with its 58 luxury rooms and suites, a wellness center and a contemporary medical block will be providing the highest-level and the highest-quality health-tourism services. On that occasion, we interviewed the director of this institution, Dejan Stanojevi\u0107, Dr. Sci. Med.<\/em><\/h4>\n

– The vision of the development of Merkur<\/strong> as a leader in health tourism in the country and the region is the constant improvement of the program concept. For a long time now, we\u2019ve been preparing the project which is going to enable us to respond to the requirements of the guests with quite deep pockets, and after we had obtained a series of consents we started building Merkur\u2019s new hotel by ceremonially laying the foundation stone, on which occasion President Vu\u010di\u0107 and the ministers Lon\u010dar, Mihajlovi\u0107 and Ljaji\u0107 came. We\u2019re proud to have managed to preserve 30,000 m2<\/sup> of the state\u2019s capital, which we are also only going to increase with the new building. The Merkur Palace will occupy an area of 6500 m2<\/sup>, and will have modern accommodation units, a medical center with complete diagnostics and aesthetic medicine, a wellness and spa center with an outdoor and an indoor swimming pools, a fitness center, a multifunctional hall and a range of the accompanying attractions \u2013 explains Stanojevi\u0107, the<\/strong> director<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The completion of the works on the Merkur Palace is planned for the year 2020, and you are going to construct it from your own funds\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

– When my personnel asked me how we would succeed in funding the construction, I told them that we should only work more. We have established an excellent team, without whom no success is possible. Last year, we recorded 205 000 night stays. Today, for example, we\u2019ve got 740 guests; so, our capacities are filled 96%, of which over 400 accounts for commercial patients. In Merkur, 430 workers are employed, one-half of them being the medical personnel \u2013 of which, there are 2 doctors of science and 50 doctors of all specialties. We\u2019re known for investing in the improvement and education of our personnel, and our biggest success is the retention of young people. The Merkur Palace is also going to open positions for new jobs.
\nYou see, we wish the Spa to develop, and the majority of the employees are the people from Vrnja\u010dka Banja. We\u2019re rejoicing at the renovation or opening of the new hotels that will be operative throughout the year, which on their part will change the structure of our guests due to their 4- and 5-star categories, which in turn will enable the opening of good restaurants, shopping malls, the introduction of new attractions, etc. Satisfied guests are the justification for all our investment activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Merkur\u2019s health, wellness and aesthetic services are also available to all visitors of Vrnja\u010dka Banja Spa, to those employed in the Spa\u2019s hotels\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

– Merkur\u2019 Special Hospital has been operating successfully by providing its guests, of whom not such a small number account for foreign guests, with the services of the first-rank quality. Following contemporary trends in treatment and a tradition of using mineral waters which has been lasting for several centuries now, we enrich our offer every year by introducing new programs. For our guests, as well as for all the Spa\u2019s guests, we\u2019ve created health programs for a healthy and active lifestyle, and the wellness programs for revitalization and relaxation. There\u2019ve been an increasingly greater number of the visitors of all years of age, who spend their winter holidays in Vrnja\u010dka Banja Spa. That\u2019s the right moment, isn\u2019t it, for them to check and improve their health, take advantage of the professional medical treatments for prettifying and care, and also to have some really good time and enjoy the nice atmosphere. As Dragan Nikoli\u0107, a great the Serbian theater and a guest of this house who was coming back here for many years, once said, \u201cyou leave \u2018Merkur\u2019 cured, not even knowing you were being treated<\/em>\u201d.<\/strong> His statue in actual size, which we placed in the Spa\u2019s park and in front of which visitors take photos, is a reminder that we should be living more healthily in order to be happier and live to a ripe old age!\u201d<\/p>\n

Center for diabetics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merkur<\/em> is the National Educational Center for Those Suffering from the Sugar Disease on the Insulin Therapy, where patients from throughout the country come for (free-of-charge) ten-day education and treatment.<\/p>\n

Halal certificate<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years now, Merkur has been operating relying on the principles of the QMS and HCCP standards, and only recently has it become the first health center in Serbia and the only accommodation facility in Vrnja\u010dka Banja to possess the Halal Certificate (which by applying the principles of the quality and safety of food respects the requests of the guests of the Muslim creed).<\/p>\n
