Many nurses are said to be infected with the virus, and among them were dead, only for the citizen to have maximum quality care.
Until only our community is over 1,000 nurses infected with COVID-19, without counting on other communities, while there were also dead, all this sacrifice only for the citizen to have the maximum quality and deserved care, the reasonings and trends for additional health personnel are considered absurd and unreasonable”, said the communique.

If additional payments are not executed by then according to lists and recommendations that have been sent over time, we invite all communities, in particular the nursing community, the midwife and other health professionals, members of the Kosovo Infermies Union for Wednesday, 02/09/20 from 12:00 to gather in front of the USKKK's office in protest.
By the time Kosovo and our people needed us, we were the ones to respond to the call and fulfill our pledge, so we invite you to fulfill your obligations to the essential pillar of the health system”.
