The number of Kosovo patients subject to dyalise at the Naphology Clinic is increasing year-on-year. About 90 new patients each year are subject to the dialysis service, since the total number of patients in dyalisis is 830.
He made that known to the newspaper “Voice” Ibrahim Rudhan of the Nephrology Clinic, which operates within the Hospital, Clinical and University Service of Kosovo (SHSKUK).
Rudhan has indicated that, in the absence of the law in Kosovo, kidney transplantation still cannot be done, with Kosovo patients forced abroad for such services.
“126 patients from Kosovo have done kidney transplants abroad, as lack of specialised kidney transplant staff in the absence of law. The Health Ministry financially assists patients with kidney problems to make the transplant abroad, which we then oversee at the Naphology Clinic”, has made Rudhan known.
