Appointed Minister of Health Aurimas Pečkauskas emphasizes that the importance of regional hospitals is growing – the Panevėžys Republican Hospital is no exception.
“Regional hospitals benefit from large investments in infectious, resuscitation, emergency admission and other departments. With investment comes responsibility and leadership. Mindaugas Vaitkus is a relatively young leader, but he has already accumulated many years of managerial work experience – I believe that it will help him a lot in dealing with greater responsibilities and tasks. The goals set for the new manager are not only to develop the Panevėžys hospital, but also to develop regional cooperation so that the state’s investments bring maximum benefits to patients, the hospital staff, and the surrounding medical institutions,” says A. Pečkauskas.
“In order to ensure quality and affordable personal health care services for the patients of Panevėžys and other regions of Lithuania, my priority as the head of the Panevėžys Republican Hospital is our employees.
It is important to recognize that the success of the hospital depends on a professional and dedicated team, therefore one of the main goals is to attract qualified specialist doctors and nurses to join the team of the Republican Panevėžys Hospital.
I would like to point out that we are currently living in turbulent times, so in order to provide proper services, we must also be prepared in case of emergency situations. We are ready for big changes – in the future, the construction of a new Infectious Disease Hospital awaits, as well as the reconstruction of the Reception-Emergency and Reanimation departments, which will ensure even more efficient service provision to our patients.
I know that we can achieve these ambitious goals only by working harmoniously and in solidarity with the members of the entire team. I have been working in this institution for the seventh year and I personally know most of the team members – they are dedicated, reliable and caring colleagues with whom we can achieve exceptional results”, says the new manager of RPL.

Vaitkus is happy that RPL has become an attractive study practice and residency base for many future doctors, which testifies to the high-quality services provided at the hospital and the professionalism of the staff.

According to the hospital’s new manager, this shows that efforts to attract and retain competent specialists are bearing real fruit.
