“surplus” device on QKUK

Consequently, patients must address private clinics locally and abroad and pay certain amounts of money.

Such an experience is being overcome by Arben Piraeus. Doctors have recommended that his child be tested by perspiration chlorine.

This determines whether the patient has cyst fibrosis that affects primarily the respiratory and digestive systems.

It's been done in the lab, right there in the hospital... Now it's not because of lack of money. That's what they're telling me”, says Piraeus to Radio Free Europe.

The “should be done privately, but there was also the term. It takes time and it costs”, he says.

In private health institutions, perspiration chlorine analysis costs between 80 and 150 euros.

QKUK's Paddyr has “Sweat-check” for this type of analysis, but there is more than a year and a half not used, in the absence of reagent, or substance that is needed to detect the presence of another substance in the organism.

The “Mungies have occurred, as there has been no long-term supply bidder. The solution has already been made, and the clinic is expected to soon supply”, says a written clarification of KKUK, sent to Radio Free Europe.

Reagents for this analysis are not part of the essential drug list and should be bought through the tender.

Paddy Clinic Director Violet Graychev expresses the conviction that the demands for such provisions have been made over time.

“Analysis must become [even privately], because when there is no material, the child should be diagnosed. But it's not a problem with the Paddy Clinic<x1.

It's been a year and a half since I'm a director, there's not been a chlorine analysis in sweat. It wasn't because there was no material. The material was required, but there was no bidder for it”, says Gajchev.

Another device that owns the Paddy, but it's not used, it's the broncoscope.

Worth hundreds of thousands of euros, it remains packed by 2018, due to lack of staff adequate to operate with it.

Broncoscope helps doctors diagnose various lung diseases from infections to tumors.

QKUK says this device is not being used because of the lack of doctors who can operate with it.

Huh? A doctor of this department is being trained at the Pulmology Clinic, until he can work independently”, the QKUK explanation says.

According to some, failure to use the broncoscope in the paediatri does no harm.
The Telaku-Cosaj light, pediatrics in this clinic's polymology department, says there are other methods for examination and diagnosis that replace the broncocope.
This device helps, but, fortunately, Malaysia is not [or] we are too rare and there are other diagnostic procedures. It's the CT and others, it's not just the broncoscope”, says Telaku-Cosaj.

Paddy Heidi Ymer, who has worked for years at the Pediatric Clinic, says that under normal circumstances the bronze is necessary.
“Such a device is helping to diagnose. The device is used in cases of children you can interact with in the process ʹ means that at age 5, 6, 7, and potentially protect them from radiation with a genus”, says Ymer.
The QKUK Clinic is not the only one that has devices that you don't use.

Free Europe Radio has reported similar cases at regional hospitals in Kosovo. QKUK gets “regional hospital patients

The Kosovo Health Ministry has earlier told the REL that they co-operate with the Kosovo Hospital and University Clinic for the purchase of equipment, which “health professionals consider necessary”.

But, a problem that characterises Kosovo's health system for years, is also the growing lack of adequate staff, or departure.

Over 2022, some 200 doctors of various profiles have abandoned the health system and have emigrated mainly to European countries.

According to this approach, the fugitives complain mainly of poor working conditions, low wages, and malmanagement.
