That's what it said at the conference organised with the motto “is the time, end tuberculosis”, organised by the National Programme Against TB under the Ministry of Health.
Naser Ramadani, director of the National Institute of Health, said tuberculosis still continues to be the most lethal infectious disease.
Kosovo is at the lowest rate of dead persons, from this disease, 2-3 percent. Smoking increases your risk to tuberculosis. 700 cases were during 2018, compared to other countries in the region. Today, material has been distributed, but not just today I KSHPK is next to you all year to prevent this disease”, he said.
WHO Office Representative in Kosovo Gazmend Zhuuri said O The BSH is assisting the Ministry of Health to help and implement the national tuberculosis programme in Kosovo and to compile guides.
And Nermin Mahmut from CDF said the TB programme has won the new grant, where CDF, according to her, continues to receive this grant.
We have started implementing the support of these grants, and we have enough resources to support the national anti-tuberculosis programme. In this three-year-old, there are major challenges to implementation and transition. More needs to be done, especially with civil society, with the aim of reducing TB mortality and also touching this disease”, it has continued.
Majlinda Jocaj, the forum's co-ordinator for controlling tuberculosis, said TB is the world's number one deadly disease.
For 2018, 707 total cases in Kosovo. Incidents 39.3 , the result of the 88 percent treatment, TB in corrective institutions is zero, TB and HIV zero, TB in children 1.9 percent. During 2018 the digitization of RTG was made in the Dubrava prison. Fifteen microscopes for all institutions. Pristina leads, while Gjakova has at least tuberculosis cases. The trend is about the latest age group. Cuts men by a low margin”, she said.
While Faik Hoti of the Health Ministry said this year the idea has been to organise a media competition for the best price, the best story for tuberculosis. Arbenita Marmulaku has been the winner of the first prize, which had also written about her personal experience with the disease.
