Sejdiu sees drug supply problem because of price hikes

Kosovo University Clinical Hospital Service Director Basri Sejdiu tells Online Economy that the new Law on Salaries was considered a law establishing the dignity of health workers, so its failure will have negative consequences.

However, it says that only raising salaries would stop their migration. He says suspending this Law has come at a time when many doctors and nurses are preparing to leave the country, so he hopes there will eventually be a positive decision by the Constitution.

Subtracts to health servants should be motivating and dignified for many reasons. A doctor or nurse who works has earned more dignified salaries, and this has been the greatest joy of ours for the law on salary to have an increase in doctors and nurses and I think it's been in the shot time and the sooner this law of wages starts to apply with a dignified salary, in addition to improving the quality of services, on the other hand it's a period preventing the migration of health staff because it's a current problem throughout the world”.

So this law will stop the staff, which is a necessary mass, where we have only seen at this time of ignorance what health would mean to be”, Sejdiu said.

Sejdiu has also talked about drug supplies, while saying that at this time they have been functioning with a strategic plan.

But in the future, Sejdiu sees the drug supply as a problem because of the world's price hikes, reports EO.

I can say very well. The supply we've made as a strategic plan that we've planned because we're going to need it, masks, gloves and many more, so orders have been made, instead of three months' orders, made the nine-month-old orders, so it's been planned for nine months and all this order has been designed to be used as rationally because in the models of places around us we've often seen that najlon bags are used as medical personnel shields and we've been right here, so these orders have been made to <1x> he said.

“Drug development is good, now we're probably going to have a little trouble in this period that we're seeing many operators cut off contracts because they don't have access to those prices, because of rising prices in the region and further”, Sejdiu said.
