Visa lift, greater flow of doctors' escape warned

According to him, 211 different profile doctors had left Kosovo in the entire 2022. He even warns that after the removal of visas from January 2024, dynamics and the number of evacuations will increase.

<x0) Last year we've had 211 with all those communications blockades, this year until the day we've watched, we've got 88 over the last year average, the first four months. We expect a bigger number than last year. The reasons that were last year and are the same are the unemployment issues, we have a large number of doctors around 400 doctors are unemployed”.

According to him, Kosovo has left out in most cases unemployed without exempting even professionals, but who say, despite job shortages, there are still about 400 doctors.

It even says it continues to be surprising how municipalities that most need staff in this sector only complain and do not announce competitions for accepting new doctors.

The biggest part of those leaving is this category, which are unemployed. Then there are specialists, those in the third year, specialisations are not satisfied with the quality of professional schooling being offered here in Kosovo, and it's a more demanding generation than our generation, and that's a large number of them, even why they leave. The reason for the three is working conditions and salary”.

“The work of these young people is surprising how it is possible when all municipalities and municipalities are what are the main employers of these outgoing categories. Opening medical competitions because they need a doctor, they have expressed deep feelings that they do not have a doctor, and they should be employed. They need nurses, but less. The second part is the change in quality I speak of specific schooling, where the state should offer more scholarships or financial support for their education in the last year abroad as it has always been”.

While AAK deputy Shemsedin Deresey says anyone planning to leave finds a way, even if there is no liberalisation.

But it says lifting visas is a comforting and favourable measure to have a greater influx of going than professionals abroad, reports EO.

I think who plans to move out of the country finds the way to go. This is actually a relief for our citizens to move freely. As for professional medical and nursing staff, they've had offers before moved, but such a situation is likely that in the circumstances we have today, in the aftermath of the wage law it's possible to have a greater influx of professionals going abroad”.

The doctor's flight, he says, should be taken care of because, it takes six years to develop “ ” a doctor or four years for a nurse.

This is very disturbing for the country and it has to be very disturbing, because we need six years to produce a doctor or four years for a nurse. While only so far do we have over 60 doctors and a considerable number of nurses who have gone to other countries”.
