Pec Emergency With Only One Specialist for 220 thousand People

They spend 10 minutes in the Emergency Department of Pec Regional Hospital not seeking medical service from Peja, Istog, Kline, and Decani.

Citizens of a section of the Malisheva and Sqahered municipality also attend this hospital, writes today “Koha Ditore”.

According to the reference books, during 24 hours medical services at the Pec Hospital Emergency get at least 150 patients. Summer months number 200.

Throughout the past year, 50,000 visits to Emergency have been registered, of which only 139 have been transferred to QKUK in Pristina. Established between two existing major hospital facilities, the emergency facility was inaugurated in July 2008.

When the government has allocated in 2005, 225 thousand euros for the construction of the facility and adequate medical equipment for Emergency Services, it has calculated the large number of citizens who will attend the medical needs in this department, but it has not even calculated the necessary number of specialised doctors to provide emergency services in this department, in which there is only one specialised emergency doctor, faithful Ibraj, who is also the chief of Emergency.
