About 170 babies died in 2019 in KKUUCology

This is due to health problems and weight under 1,500 grams [15 g] but also various pathologies that are related to premature delivery.

However, the following year, according to Neonatology Clinic Director Jevdet Goynovci, has been marked as a decline in infant mortality.

Goynovci reports that by 2018 the number of infant deaths had reached 206.

“Klinic of Neonatology deals with all babies born in the Gynecological Observatory, but also all those referred to by regional or home hospitals, which bring parents with health problems. In 2019 there is a decline in infant mortality compared to 2018. The death toll in 2019 is 169. In 2018 the death toll was 206<18>, he says.

According to him, there are many factors that may have contributed to the decline in infant mortality.

One of these is the decline of babies born in gynecology, the number of premature babies, and the best hardware supply.

There may be many factors, we haven't studied in detail, in 2019 compared to the year 2018 there's also a drop in babies born at the Gynecological Obstetrical Clinic, from 10,422 babies who were in 2018, there are about 600 fewer babies in 2019. There is also a smaller number of premature babies”.

It could make a comparison, babies born under 1,000 grams is 10 less. So it too affects reduced mortality. It also affects 2019 to 2018 we have a better supply of equipment and we have recruited a number of nurses who also influence the growth of health services to improve their quality. Number of nurses based on O BSH, which has to take care of babies, should be two, while in Neonatology Clinic a nurse cares for five babies at least”, Gojnovci stressed.

Goynovci further shows that during the past year, there have been two cases of abandoned children who have died because of their state of health.

He says that babies usually die under 1500 grams.

We've had two cases in the past year that changed because of health conditions we've offered health services all, but it was pathology that didn't deal with and changed lives. The greatest mortality is under 1500 grams, 500 to 1500 grams, which includes 60% of all cases of dead babies”, he indicated.

The Neonatology Clinic deals with various pathologies, the frequent pathology treated at our clinic is a perinatal, precognitively-involved ashesis with possible complications that transmits them, infections and various anomalies”, he stressed.

However, Gojnovci mentioned that the Neonatology Clinic is facing a small number of nurses.

He says a nurse in Neonatology cares for five babies.

For this, Gojnovci indicates he made a request to the KSF to recruit 20 nurses.

Subtitles by sdl Media The BSH that needs to take care of babies should be two, while in Neonatology Clinic a nurse cares for five babies at least. I signed a request to recruit nurses, I can say we've made a three-year plan of how many nurses we need, the request is for 20 nurses, also planning those that retire for the next two years. Waiting is always, but it's not up to us, but to the SSKUK”, he stressed.

While, from the USKKUK directorate, in a written response to Online Economics, they say that clinic shortages and demands are much greater, compared to budgetary opportunities.

“Viti 2019, has been the year that most nurses have been admitted and emergency needs have been met in all clinics. In this year, after the budget approval, based on budgetary opportunities, there will be competitions again in order to meet demands”, the SSCKUK says in response.
