Former Minister Zemaj: The vaccine process in Kosovo, total failure of government “Kurti”

This situation is in his opinion because of the citizens' dedication.

Zemaj, in an interview for Front Online, claims there is much uncertainty at present in the infection curve.

There's also a lot of confusion in this regard in the curve of infection which is now best reflected in saying with a kind of total closure to daily reports that only gives them deklarative I The KSHP, without showing what kind of tests are being done, what is the monitoring mechanism on the regional centres of IKSHPK and QKMFTs and their commitment and, above all, private labs in the way of reporting their types of tests that are conducted within 24 hours”, Zemaj said of the Online Front.

It says that if the number of cases in the future is to increase then there will be problems in maintaining public health.

May God keep this situation real and reflect on figures that are promoted so that we don't have any eventual movements in the future, with a rise in the number of infection, which will bring problems in health maintenance and damage to public health”, the former Zemaj minister has indicated.

And as for his doubts about hiding the number of infected people, Zemaj claims these allegations are occurring because of the type of tests being not being shown.

If that's not correct, then there's hiding. Not in practice, but in terms of transparency of infection curve. There are several questions that are addressed by mayors, who are also the leaders of emergency headquarters, which in terms of concrete identification of cases of deaths, especially those post-Cavid, but who have yet to seek a case of hospital, should be clarified as to whether they enter statistics as a loss of life as a consequence of Covid or are treated only part of the two-week” infection, Zemaj has declared.

Anamend Zemaj: Inoculation gatherings can bring consequences to infection

Total failure has called the vaccine process technically, former Health Minister Armend Zemaj.

And it says this because of images seen in the vaccination centers, where large numbers of citizens have gathered to vaccinate against Avid-19.

I regret that in the technical sense it is almost a total failure of what has been seen, the collection, of members of the population, especially of the elderly part, the calling of a certain number in the figure, we're seeing the more than 65 years, which are more than 166 thousand according to statistics, while we've had only 38 thousand vaccines, and the call has been public for vaccines, there have been gatherings, uncertainty. That gathering can result in infection. The elderly part is the most insulated and can end with fatality”, Zemaj said, in an interview for FrontOnline.

He accuses the Kurti Government, saying that since April 15th they have no information about the process of buying vaccines for Kosovo citizens.

The greatest uncertainty lies with the contract ready from our government and has come as confirmation. On April 15th, we have no information about what is going on with the process of buying vaccines, and then we assure Kosovo citizens that all under the state immunization plan can be vaccinated. What we have seen is that there is no respect for the communication plan because there is no functioning of other centres that need to distribute the” vaccine, Zemaj has indicated.

Former Health Minister Armenmendi Zemaj in an interview for FrontOnline has been sceptical that at this rate of vaccinating citizens against Covedo-19, 60% of the population will be vaccinated by the end of the year.

This is what we would like, but we're entering June with the promise of 60 %s of the population, or it's making more than 1.1 million or 1.2 million citizens meaning two doses of vaccine, because so far we're talking about a dose that our citizens have taken. And with this dynamic, if we continue so that every day we have 500 vaccines, then this process will be prolonged and to the detriment of public health”, has declared Zemaj to FrontOnline.

According to him, if the same situation continues then the Government should be called into responsibility.

“should not continue the pace in this form, if so, then the government, all institutions, all mechanisms should be called into charge. We should also have co-ordination with international partners to ask for help because we cannot allow a minimal inoculation until other countries are being isolated or let the population be isolated as infected with untested consequences and then expect to create what's called flock immunity, but which could have fatal consequences for the loss of people's lives”, he is told of the Online Front.

He says that if he was still a minister of health, he would work solely and professionally so that citizens could be able as easily and in the nearest period to get the vaccine.

And, speaking of that, it claims that the current government is now much easier to provide vaccines.

The option now is greater than we have been in government, it's not to reason, but given that most states in the EU and the United States of America or countries that are more developed now have already vaccinated 60-70 percent of their population then the possibility of producers sharing the rest for small countries or countries that are not the interest of the market is greater, and that's probably the insistence and hope that we have the highest number of vaccines”, Zemaj stated.

Asked whether they requested official information from current Minister Arben Vitita, Zemaj, says that since the moment she delivered her e-mails to Vitita there has been no contact and they do not know what happened to the process of buying vaccines.

“Absolutely only what we've heard and those vague, confusing, confusing telegraphic statements, we have been informed that there is no responsibility in the exchange of commissions in the name of the Kosovo government to lead the negotiation process, and these are some factors that I think might have postponed the contract purchase process, which then postponed the process of coming vaccines even if the contract is signed”, the former Zemaj minister has declared.

Kosovo Assembly MP, from the ranks of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Armend Zemaj, has criticised the Kurti Government programme.

He said in government priorities they're not even available in the programme.

There is even no financial cost of the fulfillment of promises.

There are two days that we've been discussing the so-called programme, we haven't seen the programme is more political statements, it's even today during the discussion on the government's behalf by the first deputy prime minister who said that these are government priorities while they're not available in any pragmatic segment of its realisation, that's more desired, that's the part connected with those local campaigns that have been extreme and that are not pre-represent in the programme, and that's the most important of all that's no more of the financial cost-intelligence of the promises presented at this page 61 of the pages, or the 61 of those campaigns that have been declared before, the ZemHTHOCHCHCHlCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHlCHlCHOCHOCHTS)
