QKUK security and hygiene workers warn protest

Sabri Ejupi, is a security worker at the University Clinical Center at QKUK, and no patient or visitor can pass any further without contacting him, so he says the risk of carrying infections is high. But with the government's decision Sabriu is not included in the 10% additional salary payment.

We are the first to face each patient. They first come to us, then go to the doctor or the nurse, and we don't eat on extra payments. We don't know the reasons for”, he stressed.

The financial support for health workers has not included even cleaning workers, many of whom work in areas where patients are treated with Avid 19.

Our work requires a lot of commitment that we're in close contact with patients who are with Covid, and they didn't include us, and every time it took a lot of pressure to get us involved”, Dr. Haziray, QKU's hygiene worker, stressed.

They have complained in the independent private sector trade union, where Yusuf Azemi calls this bypass discriminatory.

“Based on the decision published by the Government of Kosovo we have to be paid, but we have no signal that we will be paid, so today a decision was made that on Friday we will paralyse any service for an hour of all hospitals and family medical centres to warn competent officials that we can forgive a lot but not our health”, said Jusuf Azemi, chairman of the independent private sector trade union.

At the Gynecology Clinic at QKUK some cleaning workers are affected by Covid 19, the other 12 regional hospital is positive. The Government Information Office has provided no answer to what the reason is not to engage in additional payment of security workers and cleanup.
