Heart: Israel promised us vaccines and other health equipment

During Wednesday a virtual meeting between Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein and incumbent Health Minister Armenmen Zemaj has been held, so he said in a press statement issued Thursday.

Zemaj has said that in conversation with Israeli counterpart, Israel's assistance to Kosovo and support to provide anti vaccines CO VID, but that he was reserved to say concrete things about vaccines. Zemaj says that sometimes talks that are made on the political level between the two states must be maintained.

While Zemaj but also director of the Kosovo University Clinical Hospital Service ( Sa SKUK), Valbon Krasniqi, have acknowledged that the number of positive cases is on the rise, but stressing that the situation is manageable.

During all this time, we have held meetings with almost many counterparts around the world, especially European countries with the ministers of EU countries and countries in the region. I had a bilatheral meeting with the Israeli Health Ministry yesterday, which I thank for expressing interest to help Kosovo in the health sector and be our partners. Concrets of commitment and effort for vaccines to arrive as soon as possible, and in this regard you will receive answers are some reports that sometimes must be preserved in the report of the correctness of the conversations that are made at the political level between the two states. But their will exists to assist Kosovo both in equipment and vaccines, but also in treatment of patients where only at this time have we sent three children who will receive a care or hospital treatment that is not possible to realise in Kosovo”, Zemaj said when asked about meeting with Israeli counterpart”, he said.

While Zemaj has stressed that the epidemiological situation in the country follows a rise in positive cases with COVID-19 but insists that this is manageable but called for anti-mandic measures to be respected CO VID-19.

There's a recent epidemic situation following an increase that we've called easy but we call manageable and manageable, calling for increased care because every eventual increase has loads and overloads for our clinics which we have not rarely had to turn into COVID clinics. When there is an increase in the number and there is an increase in hospital cases, there is also reduced treatment of patients at the moment reducing the treatment of problems going up and therefore we have to take restrictive measures”, Zemaj said.

The dilemmas of whether or not the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has been banned in some states, the director of the Kosovo Clinical-University Hospital Service ( Sa SKUK), said that each vaccine is approved by the world's accredited drug agencies and what it should be sure of. He said he himself would get the vaccine in case he saw that there wasn't enough antibodies,

We need to consider one thing, for all diseases caused by viruses such as this disease the best way to prevent spread is vaccine. Any vaccine that comes into use and is approved for mass use by the world's accredited drug aggressions she should be safe for use, From a professional point of view, we need to know that potentially any drug can have any side effect. If such side effects are presented to a small number of citizens or patients that is no reason not to be used. I can compare this to the antibiotic pinecell paraparatine that can cause allergies, but if you present... we should see the benefits in relation to possible side effects. I've passed COVID and the moment it was observed that I don't have enough antibodies will take it without any hesitation”, Krasniqi said.

Krasniqi also shows that 788 patients are extended to 7 general hospitals and in the clinics of COVID-19 and QKUK, which 36 of them are in critical condition.

“Situate with COVID-19 is getting heavy from day to day, we're seeing more patients seeking hospitalization. Today we have 788 patients lying in 7 general hospitals and KKUK's COVID clinics. Of them 36 are in critical condition that are being dealt with in the intensive care department, while we have over 500 patients in ongoing osognosis”, Krasniqi told the media.
