Vitia introduced it yesterday as a new service, former director says this method is used by 2019.

Health Minister Arben Vitita along with SKKKKK Director Elvir Azazi and the director of the Toral Surgery Clinic Nazmi Kolgecin, the day before they introduced the new service at the Torakale V Surgery ATS.

Vitia said new surgical procedure V ATS is being used for the first time in the public system.

But this does not turn out to be so, as in this regard the former director of Toral Surgery Saudin Maliqi has reacted.

Maliqi told Indesksonline portal that surgical procedure V ATS is used in the Torakal Surgery at QKUK, since 2019, when and when he was director of this clinic.

VATS at QKUK we bought in 2019 and then Diego Gonzales Rivas, which is one of the VATS innovators. We've had the VATS program that we have called our colleagues in training. I was myself and my colleagues in Budapest, Croatia, Slovenia, in training. Look at the protocol, how many cases we've done with VAT in Toracal. V ATS has been operational since 2019. I don't know why they shot the V. ATS in as procedure for the first time in Kosovo, when this has been done since 2019, he said.

Maliqi even says that with what Vitita did as the first procedure, she has made a big mistake. .

I'm sorry, this Minister Vitita missed her pretty badly. His statement, a doctor cannot write like that. He's so uninformed. It says VATS for the first time. I miss it so much that they said VAT is being used for the first time, whether he has an advisor or a informant or he knows what's done there. History started early, me and half of my colleagues know how to use it. V ATS, we were trained, we had the VAT program. I have applied VATS in Kosovo for the first time. But it's not a pride that people work with VATS for 10 and 15 years. Now they are being called into things which are worth discussing “, he said.

Even former USKKKUK Director Basri Sejdiu has told him this approach has been used in Torakal Surgery since 2019.

I haven't seen Minister Vitita say anything, but I know that in 2019 the V device was bought. The ATS and several procedures were carried out, then it was director Saudin Maliqi and I know it's been carried out”, he said.

Even in a Facebook Sejdiu post in 2019, the same V device was seen as being presented ATS, like the one that was made the day before by Minister Vitita.
