Minister Ismaili admits health in Kosovo in poor condition

Ismaili, who before the commission has been talking about supplies of drugs from the essential list, the process of examining the essential list of medicines, functioning of the Health Insurance Fund, and delays in proceeding with bills, said they are not where they aim and want, but the situation in the health sector has improved markedly.

“We've been pushing it with a lot of people to get to this position we're in today. I consider that we can all be a little bit stiff-headed and a little more proud, because we've achieved a new model of governance in the MSH. Do we still have a problem, yeah? We also have a problem with a supply chain inside hospitals. I've visited the drugs. I've been sending pictures. That's where we have a real mess in the drug store inside the QKUK. Barnatores in clinics. So we have a very serious situation that we started a project to rehabilitate them and create drugs in the department where the patient needs them. We have complaints where the grass exists and the patient goes back to no bar is not in the clinic. We've started a new idea that, before each department, we put a list of drugs that the state of Kosovo funds, so that the citizen when he comes out if someone wrote it to a bar to see whether there is this bar in that department or was sent out to buy. We've had a situation like this that's getting better. It's still not where we want it to be, but it's getting really better. Drastic in what we found”, said Minister Ismaili.

But it was Commission Chairman Besa Battiu, who said the health sector has numerous problems, starting with supplies of drugs from the essential list, health insurance fund and other problems facing the sector. She told the minister that even after his promises, essential drugs are still lacking in hospitals and that such, according to her, is unwarrantable.

Based on what you're saying and we know, it's coming out that the health system has been in very deep ruin. And to get out of this, we know it takes a lot of work and responsibility and we have to work together”, Baftiu said.

But Minister Ismaili said he did as much as he could, as he found this sector in serious condition. According to him, the situation in the drug supply is much improved, but there have been various obstacles, such as buying high-priced drugs, and that there has been a confused state with no full accountability.

While saying they are working in order to become a review of the list of essential drugs, which said it has not been done since 2012 and that this will be done in consultation and with O experts The EMS, who have experience in this regard. He said he hopes that the review of the essential list will take place this year. He has even talked about the health insurance fund he said is working on and in this direction.

While LDK deputy Haxhi Avdyli said the minister Ismaili is dealing more with consequences than with core issues and health reforms.

We're dealing with more consequences here today, of misfunctioning the health system, such as lack of drugs. As is the absence of various devices, but poor quality of health services. And less or less we're dealing with fundamental issues that would solve these problems. You're trying to solve the consequences, without getting to the essence of your work which is political doing and reform. More recently and now, you're dealing with solving emergency issues mainly of ad hoc problems emerging in the health system, lack of drugs, failing doctors' responsibility. But we are not seeing a health reform”, he said.

Commission member from PDK ranks Bekim Haxhiu said the health situation continues to be disturbing.

“The lack of drugs on the essential list is obvious. We asked for an explanation, from you where we are. Why is it that there's been continuous because the promises have been and this will improve? You've been declared to examine the essential list from the beginning, and there's no evidence of the essential list, and shortages are obvious, and I'm saying from today's impression, not yesterday's, never worse, they have, and that's very disturbing. For me and if we appreciate the answer because we're deputy, you're minister, we monitor your work, then we can say that at the first two points, the supply of drugs and the review marks is negative”, he said.

But Ismaili said the health system has eroded it for profitable purposes. While he said he was going to ruin his business, all those who are thinking of taking advantage of public money.

There have been malpractice reasons for profitable purposes. The system is ashes, for profitable purposes. It's not why people didn't know how to do their job. That a letter we all know about writing and measuring how many pieces they are and where they're going. So they've got a hole in it, creating a crisis and creating a profit app... I've already given it to you. Rather, it is a trap in each country. You need to think better, you know, take this road or that road. Because there are consequences. I've really fucked up business. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, you know, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, you know, you know, you know, like, you know, you know, like, you know, like, like, you know, like, like, like, like, like, you know, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, you, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, some, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like They don't have to skip the MSH, as far as I can and as far as I know, and the consequences will be dealt with by”, he said.

And faced with widespread criticism, Ismaili told MPs that he cannot do Kosovo the Netherlands, but that he is doing as much as he can, with the aim of burning this sector.

I can't do that. The reform is not to be called reform, it's called different action, so to speak, it's going to affect the citizen. It doesn't have a name. He touched her. If you think there are, I want to show you a statistic. We have paid close to 1m euros for the billboards, for the same period we have paid 5 thousand euros. If it doesn't look like a 1m-euro reform to save them, I don't know. If it doesn't look like a million euros to save them in drugs, I don't know. I Holland couldn't do “, he said.
