Increase in number of cancer victims in Kosovo, doctors talk about causes

Exactly 482 is the number of patients affected by various types of cancer, only in the first months of this year, which is increasing year-on-year.

Oncologists say that food, which Kosovo citizens consume and contaminated air, is the main factors affecting the number of cancer victims.

This is because, according to oncologists, patients are mostly affected by lung cancer and respiratory organs.

Millaku has also talked about the supply of drugs, which, according to him, the Oncology Clinic is well in this regard.

But patients who struggle with the disease say otherwise.

They complain that they are being forced to buy themselves cytostatics and other drugs needed for chemotherapy, which they say cost much.

Months ago, in this clinic, emergency service began.

Although additional nurses were engaged there, this clinic, compared with the large number of patients, is said to still have a shortage of staff.
