The first of the Government has thanked the medical staff for the work it is doing in the health sector, but said the likelihood of salary growth is small because of what he said, neglect of this issue in the past two decades.
Of course I understand strikes but my understanding depends on their legitimacy so we have to have legal strikes. However, the Republic of Kosovo is doing everything to help health workers, and we are eternally grateful, not only for the commitment so far but also constant and ongoing. Kosovo's prospects are relatively small and we know in what situation the health system is going on and the medical service in general in Kosovo due to the bypass for more than two decades”, Kurti has said.
Furthermore, Health Minister Rifat Latifi has talked about specialists who say that they come as priorities to teach specialists. Latif has also told about the third dose of vaccine, saying that tomorrow will be a meeting with the vaccine committee.
The subject with specialists, but also their education and professional preparation in the future have to be one of the main pillars of the Ministry of Health and Government of Kosovo. We are working on selecting this issue this should be resolved as soon as possible or the most important issue, we will fully restructure the education of specialists and nurses, professional preparation after specialisation, so this has been one of the main pillars of our future work”, he said.
Prime Minister Kurti speaking on this issue said he would welcome specialists, but that, according to him, it is to solve the problem rather than hold the meeting for problems known.
I'm in contact with Health Minister and his deputy, Dafina Geja-Bunjak, and of course I'm going to expect specialists, but let's remember that the most important thing is how to solve the problem, fairly and principledly rather than even have a meeting where we're going to hear problems that we don't know”, Kurti said.
In November last year about 1,500 specialists had become part of Kosovo's public health system, where their employment occurred during former Health Minister Armendi Zemaj's leadership
