Podujevo Hospital still dysfunctional, charges against the Ministry of Health

The dysfunction of this hospital is forcing the citizens of Podujevo to travel miles to Pristina to receive necessary services. Because the Family Medicine Clinic in this municipality does not have the right conditions and capacity for treatment.

The absence of such a hospital obliges us to beat Berisha, often to travel towards QKUK. For failing to run the Podujevo General Hospital, he blames the local and central level.

And if it's not good, I'm going to have to watch where you can handle it a little better, everybody better handle it if it's naked, here for every sense you need to go to Pristina. Of course it's not, the hospital should be looking for that hospital, here we don't, we go to Pristina. I'm so sorry. But of course the powers here and the most powerful powers, d.m. th The powers of the Podujevo municipality and powers that are at the level of state”, Berisha said

While for Ali Beyok, such neglect by blaming one another, constituted a Yugoslav governance mentality. His frequent arrival in Pristina, for everything, constituted a major violation.

The fact that health is in question for days that difficulties are multiple. There's no need for this later, if it's supposed to be time after, but unfortunately, our neglect, now it's not his fault, it's not his fault. Even Yugoslav government has left great consequences, because when it's good, I'm there, when it's bad, I never know who it is. And now in this regard, hospitals are also being followed for everything in life. I do, yes, first of all, have gone to giving, but I have my family as well as my relatives, it's a huge violation”, he said.

While for the director of the Health Directorate in the Podujevo municipality, Zaim Thaci, the impasse is taking place by the Ministry of Health. He sometimes reiterated that the municipality has no responsibility for the dysfunctionality of this hospital and its competencies for this are held by the Ministry of Health.

According to him, the Health Ministry is obliged to plan capital investments for goods and services, as well as for human resources.

The “in 2016 has been passed into competence, with a government decision, d.m. th There is a decision this facility has passed to the ministry's competence, passed under the name Podujevo Hospital. With that decision, the Government takes all powers, in fact, the Health Ministry gets them, and through the University Clinical Hospital Service, it is binding on capital investments, goods, services and human resources, d.m. th remains entirely in the competence of the Health Ministry”, Thaci said.
According to him, there is no reason why the Podujevo municipality with the works, when it is known that the citizens of Podujevo need these services.

The Podujevo municipality has an interest every day, every moment early to open deliberately to its citizens. Absolutely, we cannot present instructions for something that we benefit, our citizens benefit from receiving secondary-level services”, Thaci said.

The entire epilogue of this work, Health Director Zaim Thaci, sees in 2019 the capital investments the Health Ministry has to plan.

The Health Ministry through the University Clinical Hospital Service must start. I am very hoping that they have planned such issues, so far I am hoping that they have planned as capital investments, I am talking about 2019. Capital investments, human resources, and goods-services all the obligations it has to functional a hospital like what the Podujevo is like, he said.

For the QKMF director of Podujevo's duty, Fazli Llugaliu, the functionality of the General Hospital would increase the services to patients, working at the workplace would be better, and would unload the burden being done to KKUK in Pristina.

“There was a lot of relief to the job and the QKMF, but the best work management, but the services were much more quality, and the QKUK in Pristina”, he said.

Dialiatic patients find it very difficult to travel towards Pristina to obtain needed treatment. According to Llugal, their cost is great, which made the operation of this hospital necessary.

We have over 46 patients with statistics that their cost is too much, only their transportation, and let it go, through our tools at QKUK in Pristina, then it was more than necessary to function the dial at the hospital that we have as our object in our field of”, Llugaliu said.

Even though Kosova Prees has been contacted via e-mail and phone, Health Ministry officials have refused to talk about the subject. /
