Democratic Party of Kosovo MP Uran Ismaili has raised concerns about the lack of medicines in health institutions in Kosovo, demanding that the debate on the issue not turn into political clashes, but focus on patients and institutional responsibility.
During his speech at the Kosovo Parliament’s plenary session, where the interface is being held with Health Minister Arben Vitita, Ismaili has said that there are patients who have failed to take the drugs necessary to treat their diseases.
He has stressed that providing drugs is the responsibility of institutions and should not be treated as party issues.
According to Ismaili, political confrontations are shifting attention from problems facing patients and their families, often forced to provide their own drugs and to cope with treatment costs.
MP The PDK has also called for institutional reflection on cases where the lack of drugs becomes a matter of life and death, highlighting the financial burden citizens continue to carry on health services.
In its replica, Health Minister Arben Vitita has declared that health in Kosovo has marked progress and that this process will continue.
Referring to the findings of an audit initiated by the Ministry of Health and the relevant Board, Vitia has said the issue should already be addressed by justice organs.
We need to know one thing: it’s a unique case, an audit that was initiated by the Ministry of Health and the Board that has found this information. But now I can’t, that I’m neither a cop nor a prosecutor nor a judge, and I’m not physically prepared to go face those people without law enforcement. Now the law deals with this case, has declared the Year.
