Full communication:

Under the chairmanship of the prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, was held last night the fourth meeting of the Executive Commission for Health. The first results of the Commission's work, as well as the increased commitment of its members, have been recorded during this meeting.

Prime Minister Kurti, in his opening address, stressed the two administrative guidelines that have been adopted since the establishment of the Commission. The first directive, for the licensing of foreign health professionals, aims to facilitate the arrival of foreign and foreign health professionals to meet the provision of services that are missing or at risk of not being offered to public health institutions. While, the second directive, for simplifying procedures for recording and importing medical products, which do not have endorsed parallels in the Republic of Kosovo, will ensure that drugs without quality guarantees cannot be introduced into competition for tenders announced by public health institutions.

Regarding the first instruction, U.D. Health Ministry Minister Dr. Dafina Gexha Bunnjaku spoke of steps taken to ensure the faster coming of health professionals from abroad. Immediately after the directive's entry into force, the Health Ministry has named the Board for the licensing of foreign professionals, which has drafted and adopted a new labour regulation. Similarly, the ministry, in co-operation with the Hospital Service and University Clinic, has begun drafting specific needs of public institutions. Thanks to these quick actions, it is expected that during this year and next year the first professionals from exiles and foreigners will come under this initiative.

Speaking of another priority identified by the Commission, Deputy Health Minister Dr. Arsim Berisha stressed the measures taken towards improving services for Kosovo citizens. To that end, during the following weeks, the Ministry of Health and Health Inspectorate will continue close co-operation, adding inspections to health institutions.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Kurti stressed that the steps taken so far constitute only a part of the journey towards deep reforms in the health sector. He also seized the opportunity to thank the former minister, Dr. Rift Latifi, for the ministry during the 10 months at the helm of the Ministry of Health, and the minister's task officer, Dr. Dafina Geja Bulnjaku, for her willingness to lead this important dictatorship.
