After the opening of the first Rosa school in Skopje, today also the General hospital in Gostivar got its own place for education and training of all interested future moms and parents. This project is implemented by Pivara Skopje in partnership with the Ministry of Health and by the end of 2018 opening of another Rosa school was announced in the Clinical hospital in Bitola.

The Rosa schools are completely renovated and equipped by Pivara Skopje, providing adequate conditions for smooth work with all future parents, while the professional team that will conduct the trainings is provided by the Ministry of Health and comprised of doctors specializing in gynecology and obstetrics, pediatrics, as well as medical and patronage nurses.

From Pivara Skopje pointed out that the support for opening such schools for parents is motivated by their wish to support parents, newborn babies and children, which is also the mission that Rosa as a brand has been conducting transparently for years. Nevertheless, this project is significant for the overall health system as well, as one of the most important segments in the society.

“Following the world trends and inspired by thousands of successful stories of satisfied parents-visitors of these kinds of schools in the region and wider, but at the same time recognizing the realistic needs for this form of education together with the Ministry of Health, we have decided to give our support by providing opportunity for professional assistance and credible advice for the new parents facing their biggest life roles. We truly believe in the cause that stable family environment that is giving help and support, represents the foundation for healthy and safe growth and development, which is an imperative for creating healthy future generations as well”, said Katerina Hadzi-Angeleska Nachevska, Senior brand specialist in Pivara Skopje.

At the opening of the Rosa school for parents in Gostivar also the team of doctors was announced, which is comprised of pediatrician, gynecologist obstetrician and patronage and medical nurses and the Ministry of Health also pointed out that one of the key criteria for choosing the cities was exactly the number of the professional staff in the health institutions, but also the number of the pregnant women and the expected number of newborns.

“At the General hospital in Gostivar works team of experts that is ready for successful realization of the workshops in the ‘Rosa school for parents’ and I’m convinced that they will manage to answer all the stated problems the future parents might have. On the other hand, it is important to stress out that in the first quarter of 2018 in Gostivar are registered 179 newborns, which ranks Gostivar among the top five municipalities by the number of births on country level. Therefore, I’m truly glad that Pivara Skopje recognized the real need for this kind of education and I honestly believe that through such socially-responsible projects together we can make a great contribution for successful parenting and better health system“, said Spec. Dr. Asim Musa, Deputy minister of health.

“On behalf of whole Rosa team in Gostivar, I would like to express our gratitude for this donation, because this kind of form of educating the future parents in Gostivar is truly welcomed and in fact necessary, especially taking into consideration the fact that the municipality registers as many newborns. I hope that all future moms and parents will visit this Rosa school and at the same I would like to invite them all to sign up for the classes because they will have true benefit for all issues about parenting”, said Dr. Jakup Jakupi, Director of the General hospital in Gostivar.

The workshops are free of charge and will be organized in 5 thematic areas that include parenting, healthy styles during pregnancy, psychophysical preparation, breast-feeding and care of the newborn and all pregnant women and other interested members of their families can sign up for the trainings directly in the General hospital in Gostivar.
