Pristina's QKMF appeals for caution during heat, citizens consume as much water as possible

The director of the Centre for Family Medicine in Pristina (QKMF), Valdet Hashan, has appealed for increased caution during the summer months, stressing the risk of summer gastroenterity, high temperatures and exposure to the sun.
Hashan in an interview for Online Economy, said that citizens -- especially fellow countrymen who come for holidays in Kosovo and on the Albanian coast -- should avoid foods that are easily contaminated and take care to add to milk and meat products.
The question that you filed about preventing or preventing cases that may be during the summer, or summer gastroents, as they are called, especially in the cases where we have increased the number of our citizens, our diaspora fellow citizens, who come and spend their holidays here or even on the Albanian coast. First there are three components. That is, it is the component that must look after itself, that they should not clothe themselves with dark clothes, but clothe themselves with lighter clothes, bright colors, whites, or other colors, with the purpose of the slightest absorption of light. Then feed on foods that are probably not contaminated. So they run away from milk products, meat products, products... For example, ice cream. It is staffing and streptococcus, found or added very quickly to ice cream. Even ice cream, when we are here or on the coast, should be careful where we buy them, since not keeping good ice cream refrigerators leads to a gastroenter, which can then be problematic for the family as well as for the person as ill, precisely because it is an accounting disease and can infect other family members of”, he said.
He stressed the importance of consuming water and avoiding energy and gas drinks during high days.
The other subject, which is in this context, is getting amounts of fluids. When we're talking about fluids, we don't talk about energy juice or gas, but we're talking about natural fluids. What's best is water. Releasing the water organism is the best possible way. Or, if it doesn't go too far, even with beer, but it's obvious that beer is... because if more amounts are consumed, the present alcohol can have a little more impact on temperatures”, he said.
Hashan also raised concern about occasions when children or even pets are left on closed vehicles during high temperatures.
The next <x0blem at this stage is also usually when these coming from the West or coming out on vacation, stop at different stations to get food or something and leave the children on their car or car. At those temperatures, children's closure or even house pets in cars are deadly. They need to be careful, that is, for the rest of them, who, even if they think they're going for two or three minutes to provide for the family, can stay more because of their getting a job while their family members are in their car. That is, with care also as long as they are exposed to the car at these” temperatures, he said.
According to him, citizens should avoid exposure to the sun during the interval between 10:00 and 5:00 and use high - factor protective creams, especially in children.
The other thing that matters is when exposed to sunlight radiation. When it is known that the sun's drop, from 10:00 to 5: 00 p.m., is when it is not good for them to be radiant or radiant. It is good to enter where they are cooler, freshen themselves, and take care of their skin preservation. So it's now the other component, which must be with creams that have high factors. They are over 30 or over 50 for children in order to protect our skin from direct exposure to the sun, since our beaming desires have another risk factor, since even the mountain processes of the skin are presented precisely because of unprotected or a little longer intervals. So we have to be careful. In particular, in this category we have to introduce children who are up to 5 years old, but especially those who have chronic diseases, whether they are cardiovascular, respiratory, and so on, but also those who are older and who need to know that the exposure to the sun should be after 5: 00 a.m. or 10: 00 p.m., he said, for Online Economics.
He announced that the QKMF has also published a summer magazine with advice on protecting from high temperatures and sun exposure.
About this advice, or the advice for protecting yourself from the heat, I don't know how much you're aware of, we have a magazine that we have for three months. Four magazines appear within the year - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The coincidence was released from the press, from the publication, the last summer magazine, where we have made some solar protection advice at the end of the magazine, which can be found on our website or even on Facebook at the Main Centre of Family Medicine. This magazine is the magazine of the capital, but there are data and information that are in the function of promoting and educating the population, not only of the capital, since you know we also have a certain number of patients who come not only from the capital, because they are located in the capital because of other jobs or commitments”, he said.
Hashani said the QKMF is prepared for the possible flow of patients during the summer season and that competition for new health staff has been opened.
Well, as far as we're prepared, we're actually ready at any time. Remember, we are at the start of a competition for doctors and nurses - for health personnel - that because of subjective and objective reasons has been postponed, even because of elections at times. Now, hopefully in a few months, we'll have a certain number and we won't have a problem with the staff. But be convinced that we will try, as the capital, as the QKMF, as the Director of Health, at any time, at each family medical center, to have enough personnel. If we need staff because of certain circumstances, we'll call them back from break”, he said.
According to him, there are currently no problems managing patients, and services are being offered without difficulties, while in the future, family medicine is expected to be passed on to the single construction system.
And if there's no actual flow, we don't have any problems. We have a very good distribution of doctors, we have a gentleman's agreement among colleagues who have been replacing them from center to center, and so far we haven't had any problems, including night shifts, since you know Pristina, in three centres, works with 24-hour services. Until a certain moment, when the Ministry of Health, through administrative instruction, is being prepared, it is up-to-date that family medicine is now passed into the Western system, the one-time system. So, between 7:00 and 3:00, or 8:00 p.m. Other services are also not family medicine - those in need of urgency. Then, Pristina, you know, has the Emergency Medicine Center, which is part of the QKMF, but we also have the City Emergency”, he said.
Even where the concept of family medicine is well embraced and functioned well, family medicine functions as one-time, eight-hour construction service, one change. And I believe that even on this issue, it requires citizen understanding, since the definition or appointment of terms is completely normal. No doctors and nurses return cases that are not with the appointed term but check them there. But in times when they are not urgent, they can surely wait tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We have, for example, doing different tests, taking different tests for tests and so forth, which are not urgent, or even checks, or managing chronic non-traditional diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, but also mountain processes, which can be managed extremely well with a certain term, but not those that need treatment there for”, he said. /EO
