The situation with the procurement of medicines, oxygen and other medical materials in the Clinical and Hospital Center (KBC) of Kosovska Mitrovica is alarming and critical, but there is no humanitarian disaster yet, the director of that health institution, Zlatan Elek, said today. writes Kossev.
The hospital currently lacks saline solutions, a certain number of antibiotics, and oxygen is running low. We cannot bid on how long the oxygen will last because it depends on the number of patients, he said at the press conference, reports Kossev.
Everything that the hospital lacks, Elek added, was provided by the relevant Serbian institutions, and why they cannot reach our clinical center in Kosovska Mitrovica, I am not an adequate interlocutor for that, but the interlocutors from the south side are.
He reminded that in September 2021, medicines worth 600.000 euros were returned to KBC Kosovska Mitrovica because they did not have instructions in the Albanian language.
Bring me a bilingual ampoule from the south and I will accept this as a justified reason, said Elek, who believes that behind everything is the "perfidious plan of the authorities in Pristina", which is the emigration of the Serbian population from the north of Kosovo. If you take away his right to health care and the right to treatment, then you take away his right to life, which is a basic right according to the UN Charter, emphasized Elek.
At the beginning of October, the director of the hospital, Dr. Zlatan Elek, said that the situation is very difficult because the existing supplies are being used up in the Clinical Hospital Center of Kosovska Mitrovica.
"This is not a new crisis for us. "The crisis for us here at the Clinical and Hospital Center comes with the arrival of Aljbin Kurti in power, who prevents the delivery of medicines to the KBC Center," said Dr. Elek.
