Pandemia growth, Krasniqi suspends annual holidays for all medical personnel

He has said that the fraught situation with Ovid 19 has forced them to suspend their vacation for all health workers.

From today I have suspended all annual holidays for SKKKUK health personnel and technical-administration services, so annual holidays for all employees in the public sector are suspended under the hospital service by August 1st of this year. The holidays are lost for no workers but will later be postponed“, he said.

In the work of implementing this point for increasing the number of health staff staff, Krasniqi said they have added the number of 50 doctors who have distributed them to clinics.

The Ministry of Health has made 50 doctors available to us from tomorrow in the last employed competition, we express thanks for this, and we've divided these 50 doctors according to the need of clinics that are now treating patients with Ovid. We're focused on the Infectious Clinic, Pulmology and an intensive sports unit. Also, I have made my decision, and from today it has begun to increase the professional care of patients with Coddy. Already some 45 physical therapists have been distributed in these clinics, which will be added to nursing teams in these clinics to provide services to patients with Ovidius. Depending on the need, we will do other reorganizations in terms of professional staff engagement”, he said.

He added on the basis of the government's decision and on the basis of the responsibilities they belong to as KKUK, they have all legal powers to redirect the entire staff to treat patients with Ovidius.

“We will begin within this week with the admission of patients to the Neurology Clinic. So one of the decisions of the committee today is that the Neurology Clinic, one department of this clinic, respectively, will serve for accepting suspicious cases with Covid, in a capacity of at least 60 beds... we will start with the regionalisation of patients and patients with vivid who do not need corporal services, will continue to be treated by second-level, or regional hospitals “, he said.

Asked about the death of five patients who were suspected of lack of oxygen, Krasniqi said that by now they have no official information from the Prosecution and are awaiting their reporting on the matter.

The director of the Infectious Clinic, Lendita Ayzaj, said that there are 111 patients in this clinic, where about 60 percent are on oxygen therapy and 5 patients in the critical situation.

We at the clinic have behind 111 patients who have been hospitalised, about 60 percent are with oxygen therapy and 5 patients in critical condition. The situation is very heavy on patients because there is already a large number of patients coming to a large number of patients who have a very stable situation and who require intensive treatment, so as the number of patients in need of hospital treatment has increased, and every day we have new cases that are accepted at the Infective Clinic, in a very large part of patients who are very much in the range of”, she said.

According to her, they currently have three health personnel and one is in self-isolation.

The supervisor of the sports medicine Intensive unit Gazmend Spahiu said 18 patients who are in serious condition are being treated in this facility.

The situation of these patients is difficult and we make attempts to speed them up”, he said.

Spahiu said there are 23 beds in this centre.
