Retired anesthesiologists can get back to work at KKUK

While KKUK anesthesiologists are continuing to move abroad and private institutions, those who retired are considering the offer of Minister of Health Rifat Latifi, for the lack of this framework.

Currently there are 47 anesthesiology professionals engaged in 40 units within KKUK. This situation has created long waiting lists, and the priority remains only emergencies.

Specialist Hysen Hyseni is one of the anesthesiologists who has retired to QKUU for two years now, but the professional commitment continues to other private institutions.

Hyseni and 7 other pensioners can return to the clinics where they worked, as the minister of health is seeing them as potential to make solutions when the Intensive Medicine clinic is facing a lack of them.

They are willing to help, but they have certain conditions.

“We will consider the minister's offer, but we demand that we have both financial compensation and residence”, Hyseni said.

Intensive Medicine Clinic Director Gazmend Spahiu says these professionals are welcome to engage.

“are welcome to come and help us in order to conduct cases that are on the waiting list. They have long experience and can contribute”, Spahiu said.

But this solution does not consider the best, parliamentary Commission for Health Chairman Fatmire Kolcaku.

The first “should motivate the doctors we have there, the other solutions are short-term”, Kolcak said.

Meanwhile, several anesthesiologists who have not yet officially applied are expected to leave the KKUK.

Unofficially, there are three or four colleagues who are interested in firing”, Spahiu added.

Doctors from the exiles who have been relieved of procedures to get back to Kosovo have some conditions, while more willing are those who have passed the 50s.
