I am concerned with the Government's failure to prevent the phenomenon of the departure of doctors and other health professionals from Kosovo when it is known that in 2022 there are over 12,000 health professionals who fled Kosovo: doctors, dentists, pharmacists, physical therapists, nurses, Mom, radiologs, medical technicians, etc.”, he says.
Haxhiu points out that the flight trend is on the rise this year and that the problem is not being addressed as priorities, while adding that if the measures are not taken in a short period of time, we will remain without medical specialists and we will have certain clinic closures.
This phenomenon is continuing with growth trend in 2023, and Government is not treating this problem seriously or prioritized. I have said before that if immediate measures are not taken and support strategies for health professionals are not adopted, within a short period of time in the particular health sector we will remain without medical specialists and certain clinics will be closed in a few years, in the absence of a health framework”, the deputy estimates to the newspaper Blic.
He points out that in the last two years, we have 22 fewer anesthesiologists in the public sector.
In the last two years alone, we have 22 less anesthesiologists in the public sector, some anesthesiologists went abroad, some went into the private sector, because the Government didn't seriously address this problem, for the worse part, some of the anesthesiologists the Government appointed to leading positions in health, moving them away from clinical care and participation in operations, thus pushing the situation with a lack of anesthesiologists, decomposing those in the public sector <x1, the deputy says.
