Charged Doctors Continue to Work in Private Administration

However, despite being arrested and sponsored by the Kosovo Clinical and University Centre (QKUK), he continues to work on the Internistic-Cardiological-designal RER “Zenere”, in his owned Podujevo.

Zeqiraj continues to accept patients at his clinic, without being hampered by anyone while taking licenses for such activity on March 17, 2015, despite charges against him.

But this is not the only case. Most of the cardiologists who were involved in the “case Stanta”, they have their own private office, where they suspect their colleagues refer to patients, even for services that can be performed without a problem at KKUK.

So also the former minister of health who was charged in this case, Ferid Agan, has a private clinic.

Agan owns the Neuropschiatri/ Clinical Psychology “Studio Agan”, to which the license was granted on August 14, 2013.

Other doctors who were involved in the case of "Stenta”, who have private clinics in different Kosovo cities, are also: Petit Ademiaj, Aferdita Selmanaj, Nehat Rexhepaj, Rexhe Panjaj, Florim Sadiku and Elfedin Muhhajeri.

On October 10th 2014, Kosovo Police arrested health workers Lulzim Brovina, Borce Petrovski, Ali Hocaoglu, Astrit Bakiqi, Nedmi Zeqiri, Daut Gorani, Eefedin Muhhajeri, Murat Abazi and Reshat Emra.

They are suspected of criminal involvement or organisation of an organised criminal group, misuse of official position or authority, bribery, bribery, and illegal exercise of medical activity and pharmaceuticals.

And in Kosovo there are a total of $11,000 and 313 private clinics, whether they are hospital ambulances or dental clinics, of other gynecology, but there are those operating even without licenses, although the Ministry of Health does not mention such cases.

1,313 private clinics are licensed in Kosovo. The licensing of these clinics has begun since 2015 and so far” has announced Health Ministry spokesman Faik Hoti.

The year in which the license was granted mostly is 2016, where 354 licenses were granted, followed by 2015, where 246 clinics were licensed.

“in 2012 were licensed 141 clinics, in 2013, 205 were licensed, in 2014 221, 246 clinics were licensed, in 2016 were licensed 354, and 133 clinics were licensed, said Hoti.

And in the Word Journal's question about how many of the clinics were denied license, Hoti said clinics were previously informed of the criteria whether they met or not and then applied, but he added that if, during the procedure, they violated the law then their license was refused.

“MS does not license subjects, who fail to meet the conditions under the laws in force, and that founders and licensors are informed in advance by the Division for License and Accreditment of private health institutions what conditions should meet them both technically and professional personnel that should work in these institutions”, the MSH spokesman has said. /The Word/
