The same in this regard added that, from relevant institutions in addition to engagement, there is a long-term <x0 plan to keep professionals inside the country”.

Just a few days ago, in connection with this phenomenon, the Free Radio Europe was reported that complaints about working conditions and wages at the Kosovo Medical Oda have shown that in 2024, 109 doctors have withdrawn the certificate for ethical pasts, which serves for employment abroad.

Imer said that the evacuation of health workers from Kosovo occurs due to several factors.

Kosovo's “flight of health workers is an important issue affecting the health sector in the country. This phenomenon is the result of several factors, including working conditions: Health workers face lack of adequate conditions at their workplaces, including lack of medical equipment, generally poor infrastructure, and overload at work”, she has said.

“Crahed with developed states, the salaries of health professionals in Kosovo are relatively low, prompting them to seek better financial opportunities abroad. A lack of professional perspective: Many professionals fail to develop professionally, lacking advanced training or specialization opportunities. High demand abroad, from economically developed European states, has shown a strong interest in employing health staff from Kosovo, offering higher salaries and better working conditions, which made it easier to leave the country. Health workers, as well as generally those leaving Kosovo, seek a safer, more stable environment for living and work, simply want economic and political stability”, it has added to Express.
