Doctors alert the prime minister, minister of health is interfering at KKUK

In the letter they have taken today, invasive cardiologists demand that the completion-changing of the USKKUK statute be annulled, which according to them “was signed arbitraryly by Health Minister Rifat Latifi”.

If fulfillment-relation comes into effect, the reason because the extinction of our profile and makes professional responsibility equal to cardiologists of the cardiology clinic, as well as disrupting the professional hierarchy at the corner of the céçrast department, poses a high risk to public health and uncertainty in procedures and invasive intervention”, says the letter of invasive cardiologists, which has provided the Insander newspaper.

Full letter:

April 15th: We cartoonists anonymously reject the amendment to the USKKUK statute when on April 8, 2022 we have been informed by the media that Minister Rifat Latifi has signed the draft status proposal arbitraryly without consulting with doctors of the Invasive Cardiology Department, where during these months we've been able to meet with the minister for all our concerns and the same one has not accepted, now we don't take responsibility for handling 24 hours of heart attack or mine, patients lying down on patients' procedures as well as in waiting lists, because the ability of the professional cardion of the clinic is done, because we don't take responsibility for the training of our careers and the procedures in public carding procedure, as well as well as well as possible. These six years this unit has conducted over 12,000 diagnostic procedures and heart interventions, this prior to this organisation about 95% of patients have been referred to outside public institutions by spending millions of euros and causing delays in rapid treatment, as well as increasing patient complications to life loss. From 2016 to today, this entity has saved over 60m euros in the Kosovo Republic budget, as well as drastic reductions in complications and significant reductions in mortality, as an example for many in the region. We encourage that further organisation of cardiovascular diseases continue to advance towards establishing the body of cardiovascular diseases along with all responsible units, otherwise any annexation in such form turns this entity ten years back.

So we want this amendment signed by the minister of health to be cancelled by the prime minister and to open the way for the establishment of the Heart Disease Institute or even to remain as separate clinics up to another opportunity always in co-operation by respecting the workers of each clinic and entity, as well as the respect of all procedures required by law in such statuteary shifts that have not been revised by the USKUK and the ministry in this form.
