LDK's Heart: Only 5 percent of capital investments in health have been realised this year

Former Health Minister Andmend Zemaj said this government has neither plans nor appears to be able to manage health.

The Kurti government has a plan and it seems that it does not have the ability to manage health”, Zemaj said at the media conference.

“A minister sent him into the midst of the pandemic to gain power, the first failed minister who stepped down from the minister's position to run for mayor of the Pristina municipality again in failure at the time when there were even alarming numbers of infection”.

“Then Kurti appointed a minister who seems to have no basic knowledge of reality in Kosovo”.

“As such, most of the time of his mandate spent at various conferences as if he were not health minister”.

The resignation of a ministry and the appointment of an executive team for health management shows that the prime minister and this government have acknowledged his failure in this sector”.

According to the LDK, the government has a terrible overall average of realisation of capital investments this year, with special emphasis from the health ministry.

That Kurti government has failed to manage health, even capital investment figures in this area speak. Only five percent of health capital investments have been realised this year”.

This is an even worse average than the average 10 percent of investment implementation by all ministries of the country. Only 530 thousand and 702 euros out of the 10m and 63 thousand euros pledged have been spent on projects by the health ministry”.

“In this ministry from 15 capital projects that are envisioned with the budget law, only two have started, and they are only in its initiative phase. Let us not forget that the Kurti government has reduced the health budget by 14 to 15 percent. When we're at management, during the two years of the governing mandate there has been no movement in terms of creating the health insurance fund. Same in the health information system”.
