What University Clinical Center of Vojvodina does

The University Clinical Center of Vojvodina (UKCV / КЦВ) is a state-owned tertiary healthcare institution headquartered in Novi Sad, Serbia, and the largest tertiary care provider in the AP Vojvodina region. The institution is organized around 19 specialized clinics and multiple diagnostic, surgical, and support centers, including the Emergency Center, the Radiology Center, the Center for Transplantation of Organs, Cells and Tissues, the Center for Sexual Violence Victims, and Day Hospital facilities. UKCV holds the unique status of being the only accredited clinical center in Serbia, with a 7-year accreditation certificate from the Agency for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions of Serbia. Its patient population is drawn from across AP Vojvodina and Serbia via referrals from primary and secondary healthcare facilities, coordinated through the national health insurance system and the IZIS integrated health information system.

UKCV provides a comprehensive portfolio of tertiary clinical services, including chronic pain management (radiofrequency ablation of peripheral nerves, epidural adhesiolysis), minimally invasive spinal surgery, kidney transplantation, MRI-guided prostate biopsy, endovascular interventions, assisted reproduction (BMPO), a 24/7 Center for Sexual Violence Victims, and DEXA bone densitometry. The institution has introduced several first-in-region procedures, including the first completely endoscopic lumbar disc hernia surgery in Serbia (February 2026), the first MRI-guided prostate biopsies in Serbia and the Balkans (November 2024), and the first endovascular intervention on femoral veins in Serbia (May 2025). Operationally, the institution manages approximately 4,500 medical devices, prepares 4,500 daily meals, and maintains PACS/RIS radiology systems alongside the IZIS scheduling platform.

As a public tertiary healthcare institution, UKCV operates under the Serbian national health insurance framework, with services funded primarily through mandatory health insurance contributions via the National Health Insurance Fund. The institution supplements insurance revenue with capital investments from government budgets at the Republic, Provincial, and City levels, as well as EU-funded programs such as the RESCUE Interreg IPA CBC project (budget of 444,932.82 EUR). UKCV serves as a teaching base for the Medical Faculty in Novi Sad, combining clinical care with scientific research and medical education. Preventive health examination campaigns are conducted in cooperation with the Serbian Ministry of Health, offering free services to citizens regardless of insurance status.
