SHSKUK reacts after the doctor said they were threatened by physical fighting: At no time, police and security workers care for safety

Kosovo's Hospital Clinical and University Service denied that patients and medical staff have been endangered yesterday by a clash between persons at the KKUK Emergency Clinic.

USKKKUK said in a statement that police and security workers are being cared for for for for security at Emergency Clinic.

Kosovo's “Clinical and University Centre (QKUK) wants to clarify public opinion regarding some recently made statements that do not reflect reality in our institution. We clearly stress that doctors, medical staff and supporters are not at any time endangered during their duty at QKUK. The Emergency Clinic has contracted 24 hours of police and security workers, who care for staff safety and patients”, said the SHSKUK response.

Medical doctor Avdush Baygora said earlier that patients and medical staff were at risk as friends of victims each stabbed on the back and the other injured in the head by strong means of physical fighting at KKUK.

Hospital Clinic Service says that in question, police have immediately intervened.

It is true that our staff handles various cases, including sensitive ones or suspects of criminal acts, but there has never been a direct risk of medical staff. In cases where there have been situations requiring intervention, security and police have reacted promptly and professionally as the doctor himself admits in the statement we are reacting to, says SHSKUK.

Therefore, we consider that such statements are reckless and groundless, and do not help build a climate of trust and co-operation in the health system. KKUK remains committed to providing safe and quality services to citizens, ensuring an environment protected for all its employees”, said in response./Periscopi/
