Patients have all accomplished it abroad, all compensated for it by the Ministry of Health. It is by law that radiation treatment forms that are not done in Kosovo are amended to receive recommendation for treatment abroad.

“We need middle staff and we need staff if we drop the brahirapy device, at least for two or three specialists who would enable the best functioning of this service”, he said.
